- Michael Saylor and Adam Back have publicly opposed BIP-110, a temporary Bitcoin fork proposal aimed at limiting non-monetary transactions.
- BIP-110, introduced in December 2025, targets Ordinals inscriptions, which proponents view as network spam.
- Only 1% of blocks in a recent period have signaled support for the proposal, making activation unlikely.
Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor and Blockstream CEO Adam Back have doubled down on their opposition to BIP-110, a proposed temporary fork to limit non-monetary transactions on the Bitcoin network. Bitcoin Improvement Proposal-110 was introduced in December 2025 to stop nonfungible token-like Ordinals inscriptions and other arbitrary data from spamming the network.
However, Saylor and Back fear a fork could harm the network’s credibility. “There are 110 things more dangerous to Bitcoin than spam,” Saylor said, adding that BIP-110 could invalidate ordinary transactions. BIP-110 is one of the most notable protocol-level disputes since the Blocksize Wars between 2015 and 2017.
Consequently, BIP-110 will not activate unless 55% of nodes support it across a block period. In period 475, only 1% of blocks signaled support. The dispute arises as Ordinals activity hits near all-time lows, with fewer than 10,000 daily inscriptions over the last month.
Meanwhile, Back offered a deeper critique, describing BIP-110 as a quest to police other people. He argued that Bitcoin’s decentralization means you cannot impose your views on others, calling it incompatible with the cypherpunk ethos.
Proponents like Luke Dashjr have called Ordinals-driven bloat a serious threat. They have argued BIP-110 would not cause a chain split, as a one-year limit avoids long-term invalidation of fee-paying transactions.
