Lusaka, Zambia – February 17, 2026.
The rapid evolution of Bitcoin technology in Africa has reached another milestone with the inclusion of BitDevs Zambia in both the global BitDevs directory and Btrust’s listing of African Bitcoin developer communities. This pivotal announcement amplifies Zambia’s presence in the burgeoning Bitcoin landscape on the continent, enabling stronger connections among developers, educators, and blockchain enthusiasts.
On February 16, 2026, BitDevs Zambia made the exciting announcement through a post on their X account, stating, “BitDevs Zambia is officially listed on Btrust builders‘s list of African BitDevs communities and on the BitDevsNYC‘s Global BitDevs directory.
This makes it easier for builders, educators, and contributors in Zambia to connect. This pivotal transition represents the growing recognition and support for technical innovation in the region.
BitDevs communities are organized meetups that focus on dedicated discussions about Bitcoin and its underlying technologies. Frequently utilizing a Socratic Seminar format, these gatherings foster deep technical exchanges, providing a robust platform for developers to share knowledge, address challenges, and collaborate on solutions. This communal approach strengthens the local Bitcoin developer scene, paving the way for innovative advancements.
Zambia’s new inclusion further emphasizes the rise of African Bitcoin ecosystems, which have been gaining momentum in recent years. As more individuals and organizations commit to building a sustainable and decentralized Bitcoin infrastructure, the role of local communities like BitDevs Zambia becomes increasingly crucial. By fostering a collaborative environment, these groups are essential in nurturing talent and facilitating groundbreaking projects that can ripple through the Bitcoin & tech landscape.
At the heart of this initiative is Btrust, a non-profit foundation founded with support from industry leaders like Jack Dorsey and Jay-Z. Btrust is dedicated to decentralizing Bitcoin software development, with a keen focus on the Global South, particularly Africa. Through its Btrust Builders program, the organization provides extensive training and mentorship for aspiring software developers.
Participants engage in an immersive educational experience, learning how to make meaningful contributions to open-source Bitcoin projects and the Lightning Network.
The potential for growth and impact here is immense. As BitDevs Zambia gains visibility on a global scale, it provides its members and the Zambian tech community with opportunities to leverage knowledge, obtain resources, and connect to a worldwide network of Bitcoin developers. The skills gained through Btrust’s program can lead to funded projects and innovative contributions that elevate Zambia’s technological standing within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
For individuals interested in participating in this technological revolution, engaging with BitDevs Zambia or Btrust offers a pathway into the dynamic world of Bitcoin development.
As we continue to witness the evolution of Bitcoin and its applications, one thing is clear: Zambia is poised to become a significant player in Africa’s Bitcoin narrative. With community-driven initiatives like BitDevs Zambia at the forefront, the future of Bitcoin innovation in the region looks promising.
