The Bitcoin Open, a combined golf and poker tournament organized by Bitcoin Sports Network and Canadian firm Satstreet, is scheduled for June 8, 2026, at Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville, Ontario. The event features a daytime scramble-format golf tournament on the championship course followed by a Texas Hold'em poker tournament in the evening. Prizes include two separate hole-in-one awards, each worth one Bitcoin, plus a $5,000 CAD stablecoin purse for the poker winner.
Two Bitcoins up for grabs on the course
Golfers will compete for a pair of hole-in-one prizes — each one full Bitcoin — awarded on different designated holes. Additional golf prizes include longest drive and closest to the pin, and winners also score tickets to the 2027 Bitcoin Golf Championship in Nashville, Tennessee. The poker champion takes home $5,000 CAD in stablecoins.
Hole sponsors span crypto and finance
The tournament's hole sponsors 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. That lineup reflects a mix of Bitcoin-native firms and traditional Canadian financial players dipping into the space.
A new venue with history
This is the first time The Bitcoin Open is held at Glen Abbey. Previous Bitcoin Sports Network golf events took place in Las Vegas. Glen Abbey, designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in 1976, is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. The public course sits about 30 minutes west of Toronto and has a long history hosting the Canadian Open.
Limited spots, strong demand
The field size is capped, and organizers say remaining team spots are dwindling as of mid-May. Interested players may want to move quickly. The event is open to the public, and registration details are available through Bitcoin Sports Network.
