About Us

Set up in 2014, Bitcoin Association Northern Ireland is the oldest cryptocurrency/blockchain related non-profit in both the North & South of Ireland.





Our founding member Niall Maye has been involved in the many areas of the Bitcoin/Blockchain industry & community from 2012 and is considered a veteran, global expert & visionary of this transformative new industry.





As Northern Ireland members of the Bitcoin/Blockchain community & industry, we’re each tied to this network in our own way. We all have a shared interest in its success to keep our province up to date with the rest of the world as we progress through what world leaders at Davos described as the 4th Industrial Revolution.





BANI’s mission is to act as a main source for education, as well as promotion & protection of the Bitcoin protocol. An organizing body that coordinates and defends these interests in a professional, inclusive and transparent manner.
