Michael Saylor opposes BIP-110, calling the proposed fork a bad idea
Saylor said Ordinals activity is near all-time lows, pointing to fewer than 10,000 inscriptions per day in the past month.
Cointelegraph reports that Michael Saylor, strategy executive chairman of the biggest Bitcoin corporate treasury, took to social media to argue against Bitcoin Improvement Proposal-110, or BIP-110, which would use a temporary fork to limit non-monetary transactions on the Bitcoin network.
Saylor said he shares BIP-110’s goals, including protecting node operators from unwanted costs, preserving affordable payments, and keeping Bitcoin focused on peer-to-peer cash rather than general-purpose data storage. He nonetheless disagreed with the specific remedy proposed in the protocol change.
Cointelegraph also notes that BIP-110 was introduced in December 2025 to stop Ordinals inscriptions and other arbitrary data from spamming the network. The dispute is described as one of the more notable Bitcoin protocol-level disagreements since the 2015 to 2017 Blocksize Wars.
According to Cointelegraph, the proposal’s latest signaling showed only 1% of blocks in support during period 475, and it comes as Ordinals activity has fallen to near all-time lows, with fewer than 10,000 Ordinals inscribed daily over the last month, down from more than 400,000 at its August 2023 peak.
