Global – Bitty (ticker: BTTY), the Bitcoin community’s orange, furry mascot, is breaking out on Bitcoin’s own token layer as a BRC‑20—and believers say it’s poised to become the meme of this cycle. First deployed on May 10, 2023 as a BRC‑20 inscription on Bitcoin (Inscription #5,193,297), BTTY mirrors Bitcoin’s cultural DNA with a 21,000,000 token supply and 18 decimals, reinforcing a one‑to‑one homage to BTC’s fixed cap.
A “forgotten” Bitcoin mascot goes on‑chain
Bitty isn’t a random internet cartoon—it’s a long‑running puppet/mascot associated with Bitcoin community creatives (the “Here Comes Bitcoin” open‑asset project), widely reused across the ecosystem for years. That heritage gives Bitty a uniquely authentic narrative among memes now that the character has been reborn as a Bitcoin‑native token
Bitcoin‑native. BRC‑20. Verifiably 2023.
BTTY was deployed in 2023 on Bitcoin via the BRC‑20 standard (Ordinals), with on‑chain metadata confirming the deploy time, inscription ID, and deployer address. No team‑controlled smart contract exists; BRC‑20 inscriptions are text‑based and immutable, and the BTTY inscription shows a mint limit of 1,000 per mint and full 21M supply minted—a pattern the community frames as a fair, open mint rather than a presale. As of today, third‑party trackers show an inscription market cap near ~$490K.
Where to get BTTY: OKX Web3 & UniSat
BTTY trades on OKX Web3’s Ordinals/BRC‑20 marketplace (with real‑time price, market‑cap and holder stats) and is viewable/tradable in leading Bitcoin wallets. UniSat—the pioneering BRC‑20 wallet/tooling suite—supports BRC‑20 markets and native swaps as well. (Reminder: BTTY is a Bitcoin BRC‑20—not an ERC‑20 or Solana token.)

Ignore copycats: “BTC network only — not EVM”
As Bitty’s story resurfaces, opportunists have minted look‑alike “BITTY” tickers on other chains. The official BTTY community reiterates: the Bitcoin mascot lives on Bitcoin; “BTC network only — not EVM.” If you see “BITTY” on Solana or EVM exchanges, that’s not the original BRC‑20 BTTY. (Example: a distinct Solana token named “The Bitcoin Mascot (BITTY)” circulates on SOL DEXs—not the same asset.)
Why Bitty can take the crown in 2025
1) The chain advantage. Bitcoin is #1 by market cap, and BTTY is Bitcoin‑native. As BTC sets fresh highs (hovering around $121K this week), Bitcoin’s market cap stands around $2.42–$2.45 trillion. A credible “mascot of Bitcoin” narrative—even at 1–10% of BTC’s market value—implies a massive ceiling compared with past meme cycles. (1% ≈ $24B; 10% ≈ $242B at today’s levels.)
2) Proven meme comps. The Base‑chain meme BRETT peaked near $1.8–$1.9B in June 2024 and at times approached $2B—without Bitcoin’s brand gravity. PEPE briefly topped $11B in December 2024. SHIB reached $37B+ at its 2021 peak. Bitty’s community argues the Bitcoin mascot, on Bitcoin, with Bitcoin’s supply meme (21M), has the strongest cultural product‑market fit heading into this supercycle.
3) The narrative is irresistible. “Forgotten Bitcoin mascot from the 2010s gets rediscovered and goes on‑chain in 2023” is a sticky, journalist‑friendly story. It unites Bitcoin’s history, the new BRC‑20 rails, and a meme‑ready character—with easily shareable, license‑friendly visuals.
4) Fair‑mint optics. With BRC‑20’s open inscriptions and BTTY’s limit per mint rules, the launch structure looks more “grassroots” than many presale‑led meme tokens—an angle retail can understand and KOLs can champion without baggage. (On‑chain: Supply/Minted 21M/21M; Limit per mint 1,000.)
5) By comparison, Base’s meme BRETT peaked near $1.8–$1.9B (June 2024), PEPE briefly topped $11B (Dec 2024), and SHIB exceeded $37B at its 2021 peak—useful context when evaluating the potential scale for a Bitcoin‑native mascot meme as BTC’s market cap sits around $2.4T today
“Second chance to buy the Bitcoin story”—for maxis and retail
BTTY is resonating with Bitcoiners who prefer decentralization purity and dislike centrally steered chains. The pitch is simple: if Bitcoin deserves a mascot, it belongs on Bitcoin. For retail, Bitty offers a playful, lower‑price “ticket” tied to Bitcoin’s culture—not a substitute for BTC, but a way to participate in a viral, Bitcoin‑aligned meme. And because BTTY trades natively on BTC rails, you can acquire BTTY with BTC using OKX Web3’s Ordinals market or UniSat tools.
