The music industry is broken—middlemen take the biggest cut, artists struggle for fair pay, and fans are left disconnected from the creators they love. But that system is being replaced. A new music economy is emerging, built on Bitcoin, where independent musicians can fully control their rights, revenue, and audience relationships.
Why Bitcoin? Why Now?
The traditional industry isn’t designed to serve artists—it’s built to control them. Bitcoin fixes this by creating a base standard for a new music economy, where musicians can operate freely, without permission, and build sustainable careers outside legacy institutions. Learn more in our dive into ‘Bitcoin’s role in the New Music Economy‘.
At 2140Music, we’re not just talking about this shift—we’re building it, alongside many others, in real time. Through events, collaborations, and direct integration of Bitcoin-powered tools, we’re demonstrating how artists can thrive without gatekeepers.
What We’re Building
2140Music is a growing community of artists, producers, and organisers exploring new ways to create, distribute, and monetise music on Bitcoin. We’re focused on:
- Onboarding artists into the New Music Economy.
- Redefining revenue models through Bitcoin-powered payments, crowdfunding, and fan engagement.
- Building real-world spaces for independent musicians to connect, collaborate, and perform.
Where We’ve Been
Since our launch event in Brixton, we’ve hosted a series of events, educating and showcasing independent artists who see the potential of Bitcoin in music. These gatherings have brought together musicians, Bitcoiners, and builders who share a common goal: creating a new path forward for artists.
With growing momentum, we’re now shifting from biweekly to monthly events, giving us more time to develop deeper experiences and higher-quality content.
What’s Coming Next?
2140Music isn’t just about live events—we’re building a movement that empowers artists with the tools, knowledge, and network needed to succeed in the Bitcoin-powered music economy. Here’s what’s ahead:
- Bitcoin Graffiti Jam – A fusion of music, art, and Bitcoin culture, bringing creative freedom to the streets.
- 2140Music Cypher (March 25, 2025) – A live filmed cypher, bringing together artists from previous events and new voices for an explosive, collaborative session.
- Expanded Educational Content – We’re rolling out a library of resources, guides, and interviews to help artists and industry professionals navigate the shift to Bitcoin-powered music.
- Online Community Events & Workshops – Virtual spaces where artists can discuss Bitcoin adoption, share knowledge, and learn from others in the space.
- Industry Collaborations & Artist Spotlights – Highlighting real-world examples of musicians using Bitcoin, showcasing new revenue models, direct-to-fan engagement strategies, and decentralised funding opportunities.
- Bringing 2140Art and 2140Music to Bitcoin, Crypto, Music & Tech Events Worldwide – We’re actively working to integrate music, art, and culture into major Bitcoin conferences and gatherings, ensuring that independent artists are at the forefront of this movement.
Expanding the Roster and The Vision Ahead
We’re growing our artist roster with musicians who align with the vision of a Bitcoin-powered music industry. Artists who aren’t waiting for permission, but are instead taking control of their craft with new tools, platforms, and processes built on Bitcoin.
This isn’t just about one city or one scene—we’re taking this movement global. Whether it’s through in-person events, online collaborations, or major conferences, 2140Music is proving that the future of independent music is distributed, decentralised, unstoppable, and built on sound money.
