Bitcoin Office Hours at PubKey DC
Pubkey DC, 410 Seventh St NW,, Washington, DC, USCurious about Bitcoin but don’t know where to start? The headlines say one thing, the charts say another—but what’s the actual deal? Swing by PubKey DC on Wednesdays for Bitcoin Office Hours. John Balkam (CMO at Sovreign) will be on hand to cut through the noise and answer the questions you’ve been hesitant to ask, such as:
- What is Bitcoin, what does it mean to be truly scarce, and why is Bitcoin fundamentally different than all other cryptos?
- How do you actually buy it? And do you really have to buy a whole coin? (Spoiler: You can start with as little as $1).
- What is a wallet, and what does it mean to actually own your money through self-custody?
Drop in any time between 4 and 6 PM and look around for John, likely wearing a SATS hat, sitting at one of the dining tables.
Getting There:
- 🔵🟠⚪ Federal Triangle + 10 min walk
- 🟢🟡 Archives-Navy Memorial-Penn Quarter + 2 min walk

Powering the Future of American Farming
Pubkey DC, 410 Seventh St NW,, Washington, DC, USWhat if the American small farm could double as a high-tech power plant and farmers could become their own bank? Join us at PubKey DC for an exploration of a new frontier in rural land use. We’re sitting down with Mark Smith, CEO of Carbon Country, and Hunter Budd from the Digital Energy Council to break down a scalable model for the modern grower.
You’ll get an inside look at how integrating agrivoltaics (solar + grazing) with on-site Bitcoin mining creates a financial "flywheel" for regenerative agriculture. By monetizing excess energy and sequestering carbon through biochar, this model offers small farms a path toward energy independence and diversified revenue. Come find out how the intersection of Bitcoin and land stewardship is building a more resilient, decentralized grid—one pasture at a time.
Read more about Carbon Country on their website.
