The Bitcoin Museum and Art Gallery (BMAG) is set to launch its Trading Card Expo at the Bitcoin Asia 2026 conference in August. The event will essentially convert the traditional crypto conference arena into a “card show”, that will give allow to international dealers, investors, and hobbyists to buy, sell, and trade rare alternative assets.
The BMAG is an arts-focussed subsidiary of BTC Inc., the crypto firm owned by NASDAQ-listed Nakamoto Inc. As part of its Trading Card Expo, the BMAG plans to fuse a world-class card show with the gallery’s fine-art program.
The platform will essentially host alternative asset dealers from across Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, alongside Bitcoin-focused companies.
Additionally, this curated trading space will be enclosed by a curated gallery wall displaying original artwork, rare card sets, and unique collectibles.
“Bitcoin, art, and collectibles are one culture,” said Dennis Koch, Director and Curator of BMAG. “Card collectors and bitcoiners share the same mindset: what’s real, what’s rare, and what holds value over time.”
The “Trading Card Game” event will make for the most distinct part of the expo. As part of this tournament, players will collect special edition cards and use them to fight strategic card battles against each other.

For prizes, BMAG will be giving away real Bitcoin tokens.
“Bitcoin runs through the full experience: prizes in tournament play, payments at vending machines on the floor, and a first-of-its-kind opportunity for vendors to list and sell inventory in Bitcoin. For many dealers, this will be the first time accepting Bitcoin for their cards, making the Expo an onboarding moment as much as a marketplace,” the announcement noted.
The Bitcoin Asia 2026 conference is slated for August 27–28 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
