Bitcoin leaders oppose BIP-110 fork proposal
- Michael Saylor and Adam Back have opposed the proposed BIP-110 fork for Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC).
- The proposal aims to limit Ordinals and other non-financial data on the Bitcoin network.
- Support for the proposal remains low, with only 1% of blocks signalling approval.
Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor and Blockstream CEO Adam Back have criticised the proposed BIP-110 fork for Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC).
BIP-110 was introduced in December 2025 to limit Ordinals and other non-financial data on the Bitcoin blockchain.
“There are 110 things more dangerous to Bitcoin than spam,” said Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor.
Saylor said the proposal could invalidate normal Bitcoin transactions, while Back argued that Bitcoin's decentralised design should not allow one group to impose its views on others.
Supporters, including Ocean founder Luke Dashjr, said BIP-110 would reduce blockchain congestion and would only apply for one year without causing a permanent chain split.
The proposal faces a difficult path because it needs support from 55% of Bitcoin nodes, while only 1% of blocks supported it during the latest voting period.
Ordinals activity has also fallen sharply, with fewer than 10,000 daily inscriptions over the past month, down from more than 400,000 at its peak in August 2023.
At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was $63,963.99.
