Bitcoin Improvement Proposal-110 was introduced in December 2025 to stop nonfungible token-like Ordinals inscriptions and other arbitrary data from spamming the network and to preserve BTC’s main use as a peer-to-peer cash system. In a roughly 3,700 word post on X.com, the man in control of the largest Bitcoin (BTC) corporate treasury made a case for what he said are “neutral rules, hard consensus, open markets, and permissionless innovation.” *Source:* Michael Saylor *on X.com* “Many Bitcoiners I respect support BIP 110. They want to keep validation accessible, protect node operators from unwanted costs and content, preserve affordable payments, and keep Bitcoin focused on sound money rather than general-purpose data storage. Those are serious concerns. I share the objectives. I disagree about the remedy,” Saylor said. He added: “This article critiques the proposal, not the people behind it. I assume good faith. Bitcoin is strongest when we can disagree vigorously without mistaking allies for enemies.” As of 12 p.m. ET, on Sunday, the post had been viewed 879,000 times, with 692 replies and 852 retweets. BIP-110 is one of the more notable protocol-level disputes in the Bitcoin development community since the Blocksize Wars between 2015 and 2017, when ecosystem participants debated whether it was worth risking a chain split to raise the block size limit for scalability. The proposal was introduced by pseudonymous Bitcoin developer “Dathon Ohm” with the support of Ocean protocol founder Luke Dashjr. Opponents include Blockstream CEO Adam Back. **Little certainty on BHP-110 approval** To be sure, BIP-110 won’t be activated unless 55% of Bitcoin nodes validating blocks are in support of the proposal across a Bitcoin block “period.” In the last period, period number 475 between block 955,584 and 957,599, only 1% of blocks were in support. The dispute comes at a time when Ordinals activity is at near all-time lows, with fewer than 10,000 Ordinals inscribed into the Bitcoin blockchain on a daily basis over the last month, down from the more than 400,000 seen during its peak in August 2023. *Change in daily Ordinals inscriptions since December 2022.* *Source:* Dune Analytics Bock has previously criticized BIP-110, describing it as a “quest to police other people.” He said Bitcoin’s decentralization should mean “you can’t impose your views on others,” calling it incompatible with BTC’s cypherpunk ethos of permissionless, censorship-resistant money. Dashjr and other BIP-110 supporters have called Ordinals-driven bloat a “serious threat” to the network, prompting the need for an imminent fix. They have also argued BIP-110 wouldn’t cause a chain split, as many fear, while adding that the BIP-110 fork imposes a temporary one-year limit and thus wouldn’t invalidate fee-paying transactions over the long term. *Features:* *From Bitcoin critics to blockchain believers: The 5 biggest crypto backflips* ### Related Stocks - [STRF.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/STRF.US.md) - [STRC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/STRC.US.md) - [STRK.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/STRK.US.md) - [STRD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/STRD.US.md) - [MSTR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSTR.US.md) - [GBTC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GBTC.US.md) - [WNTR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/WNTR.US.md) - [SMST.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SMST.US.md) - [FBTC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FBTC.US.md) - [MST.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MST.US.md) - [ARKB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ARKB.US.md) - [MSTX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSTX.US.md) - [MSTW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSTW.US.md) - [MSTU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSTU.US.md) - [MSTZ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSTZ.US.md) - [BITB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BITB.US.md) - [IBIT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IBIT.US.md) - [MSTP.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSTP.US.md) - [MSOO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSOO.US.md) - [BITO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BITO.US.md) - [BRRR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BRRR.US.md) - [BTCO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCO.US.md) - [BTCW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCW.US.md) - [HODL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HODL.US.md) - [EZBC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/EZBC.US.md) - [BTCE.DE](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCE.DE.md) - [03008.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/03008.HK.md) - [03042.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/03042.HK.md) - [03430.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/03430.HK.md) - [IMST.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IMST.US.md) - [MSDD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSDD.US.md) - [MSST.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSST.US.md) - [MSTY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSTY.US.md) - [MTYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MTYY.US.md) - [07799.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07799.HK.md) - [09399.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/09399.HK.md) ## Related News & Research - [K33 boosts effective bitcoin exposure via Sixty Six option for up to 200 BTC](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296742890.md) - [Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (BSTR) Terminates Business Combination, Team Continues Pursuing Active Bitcoin Treasury Management | CEPO Stock News](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296540800.md) - [Sixty-Six Capital borrows USDC 2 million from K33 Holding in short-term financing deal](https://longbridge.com/en/news/297045058.md) - [LQWD Technologies CEO to Speak at Bitcoin Asia 2026 in Hong Kong | LQWDF Stock News](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296496835.md) - [Canaan to Exhibit at Bitcoin Asia Conference](https://longbridge.com/en/news/297001945.md) --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
