As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial markets, I have seen my fair share of ups and downs, booms and busts. Swan Bitcoin’s decision to cancel their Pacific Bitcoin Festival is a testament to the volatile nature of the cryptocurrency market.
The Swan Bitcoin team has unfortunately had to call off their Pacific Bitcoin Festival planned for Santa Monica, California, on October 18-19, 2024. This move comes as a result of staff reductions and the halt in their cryptocurrency mining activities.
On August 5th, Cory Klippsten, CEO of Swan Bitcoin, declared the postponement of X (previously known as Twitter). He expressed, “At present, we’re dedicating all our efforts to Swan Bitcoin’s primary operations. Following a round of staff cuts last month, it seems inappropriate for us to organize a festival at this time.”
As an analyst, I’m sharing the tough decision we’ve made to cancel PacificBitcoin this October. Our primary focus at Swan lies with our core business, and given the staff reduction we undertook last month, it doesn’t seem prudent to proceed with a festival at this time.

The upcoming event featured prominent figures such as Bitcoin advocate Max Keiser, who champions Bitcoin use in El Salvador, and Marathon CEO Fred Thiel. Unfortunately, due to recent reductions in staff and halting of mining operations, the company has chosen to concentrate solely on their primary business endeavors.
In July, Klippsten announced that Swan Bitcoin had postponed their initial public offering (IPO) to focus on essential operations. However, they are holding a scaled-down, one-day event on October 17, with plans to resume the full festival in 2025.
