The Bitcoin Open, a combined golf and poker tournament organized by Bitcoin Sports Network and Satstreet, is scheduled for June 8, 2026, at Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville, Ontario. The event will take place at the club during its 50th anniversary year.
Glen Abbey Golf Club, designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in 1976, is one of Canada’s most recognized golf venues. It has hosted the Canadian Open multiple times and is known for its championship-level layout and history in professional golf. The course is located approximately 30 minutes west of Toronto and serves as a public golf facility with a significant legacy in Canadian sports.
The Bitcoin Open consists of a scramble-format golf tournament on the main championship course during the day, followed by a Texas Hold’em poker tournament in the evening. The golf portion uses a team scramble format, typically with groups of four players. The field size is limited, with organizers noting strong demand and a reduced number of remaining team spots as of mid-May 2026.
Prizes for the event include two separate hole-in-one awards, each consisting of one Bitcoin. Additional golf prizes cover the longest drive and closest to the pin. Golf winners will also receive tickets to the 2027 Bitcoin Golf Championship, scheduled to take place in Nashville, Tennessee, ahead of the 2027 Bitcoin Conference. The winner of the poker tournament receives $5,000 CAD in stablecoins.
A list of hole sponsors for the event has been announced. These include APX Lending, Tetra Digital Group, The Canadian Bitcoin Conference, Satstreet, True North Airways, Ledn, Gator Mining Inc., Wealthsimple, CAD DIGITAL, PRIVATEDEBT Partners, McCarthy Tetrault, and Samara Asset Group.
Bitcoin Sports Network operates as an organizer of Bitcoin-themed sports and lifestyle events, including golf tournaments held in conjunction with major Bitcoin conferences. Satstreet, a Canadian Bitcoin-focused company, is co-hosting the event and serving as one of the hole sponsors. The two organizations are collaborating on this Canadian edition of The Bitcoin Open.
The event is open to participants from the Bitcoin community, including builders, investors, and others active in the industry. Registration is handled through the official event website, with tickets covering both the golf and poker components. The schedule includes on-course activities, meals, and networking periods at the venue.
This marks the first time The Bitcoin Open is held at Glen Abbey. Previous Bitcoin Sports Network golf events have taken place in locations such as Las Vegas, often timed near larger Bitcoin conferences. The Canadian event is positioned as a standalone gathering in the Toronto area.
Glen Abbey’s 50th anniversary provides additional context for the timing. Since its opening, the club has been a central part of Canadian golf, training professionals and hosting amateur and professional competitions.
