A new fireside chat has been announced for Bitcoin 2026 featuring Tarek Mansour, co-founder and CEO of Kalshi, in conversation with Brandon Green, CEO of BTC Inc. The session takes place April 27 at 11:40 AM on the Nakamoto Stage at The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas.
Tarek Mansour is the co-founder and CEO of Kalshi, one of the world’s largest federally regulated financial exchanges for trading on events. Founded in 2018, Kalshi created and established prediction markets as a new financial asset class called “event contracts,” which allow traders to take positions on whether a future event will happen or not. Mansour previously worked as a quantitative trader at Goldman Sachs and Citadel, and holds a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Mathematics and a Master of Engineering from MIT.
Kalshi raised $300 million in new funding at a $5 billion valuation in a round led by Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from Coinbase Ventures and Paradigm, among others. The company’s annualized trading volume surged from $300 million the prior year to an expected $50 billion. Bitcoin is central to Kalshi’s infrastructure — the platform accepts Bitcoin deposits and has positioned itself at the intersection of regulated financial markets and the digital asset ecosystem. The platform now covers events ranging from elections and economic indicators to cultural moments giving participants a way to take a direct financial position on what happens in the real world.
Brandon Green has been a core member of BTC Inc. since joining in 2017, holding leadership roles including Managing Director, Chief of Staff, Head of Events, and now as CEO, has helped drive the global expansion of the Bitcoin Conference franchise to Amsterdam, Hong Kong, and Abu Dhabi.
The conversation will offer an on-stage look at how prediction markets are reshaping the way people engage with information, risk, and real-world events — and what Kalshi’s growth means for Bitcoin’s expanding role in regulated financial markets.
