Founder of the World’s First Blockchain Nation

Vít Jedlička is the President and Founder of the Free Republic of Liberland — a pioneering libertarian micronation established on April 13, 2015 on terra nullius between Croatia and Serbia. He is widely recognized as one of the leading figures advancing blockchain technology as the foundation for transparent, voluntary, and decentralized governance.

Under his leadership, Liberland has become the first nation to formally embrace Bitcoin as a reserve currency and to conduct elections entirely on blockchain. With over 700,000 citizenship applications worldwide, Liberland stands as a real-world experiment in minimal government, individual liberty, and crypto-native institutions. Vít holds degrees from the University of Economics in Prague and the CEVRO Institute, and is a frequent speaker at global forums including TEDx, Horasis, Bitcoin conferences, and the St. Gallen Symposium.
