On-Chain History

THE RECORD

Three layers of history converged on February 4, 2026. Not marketing — verifiable facts, permanently etched on the Bitcoin blockchain.

Layer I · The Foundation
Bitcoin — The Protocol That Changed Everything

In 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto published the Bitcoin white paper. In January 2009, the Genesis Block was mined — and a new form of money was born. In April 2024, the Runes protocol launched at the Bitcoin halving block, bringing native fungible tokens to Bitcoin L1 for the first time. No sidechains. No bridges. Pure Bitcoin.

Layer II · The Character
Here Comes Bitcoin — Bitty's True Origin

In 2019, Square Crypto was founded — a Bitcoin-focused, open-source organization within Block, Inc. In 2021, it was renamed Spiral. Spiral created Here Comes Bitcoin — an open-source educational initiative using lovable anthropomorphic Bitcoins to make Bitcoin funnier, friendlier, and more accessible. On May 8, 2024, Spiral declared all assets free for anyone to use, anywhere, without permission. No copyright. Forever.

February 4, 2026 — The Etching

On February 4, 2026, at block 935,003, BITTY•THE•BITCOIN•MASCOT was etched onto the Bitcoin blockchain via the Runes protocol. The same transaction inscribed Ordinal #118,247,453 — landing on a sat mined on May 24, 2015, Epoch 1, when each block carried a reward of 25 BTC. Five days later, 21,000 BITTY were sent to Satoshi's Genesis Wallet for just ~$0.19 USD — permanently, verifiably, irreversibly.
