Bitty, a grumpy orange furry bitcoin mascot holding a bitcoin symbol

$BITTY

He was built to explain bitcoin to people who didn't have any yet. Now he funds the place those people actually land: 100% of the tax on every trade is converted to bitcoin and sent to the donation address bitcoin.org publishes for itself.

Two numbers, both read off a blockchain

One for what the tax has collected on BNB Chain, one for what has actually landed in bitcoin.org's wallet. They are deliberately kept apart — the second is the one that counts.

The "delivered" figure is not a wallet balance. bitcoin.org's donation address receives money from hundreds of unrelated donors and spends from it, so its balance says nothing about this project. Instead, each payout below is looked up by transaction id on mempool.space, and only the value actually paid to that address is counted.

Each row is verified live against the Bitcoin blockchain when this page loads — amount and confirmations come from the chain, not from this website.

The Story

He started out seven feet tall

Bitty is a real character with a real, well-documented and fairly stupid origin.

1

A foam suit with working eyebrows

Spiral built a seven-foot bitcoin puppet — articulated brows, a mouth that actually moved, a person sweating inside it — to make a short film about what bitcoin is for, rather than what it costs. Real puppetry, no CGI, on purpose: the plan was to be surprised by what happened on camera.

He was designed grumpy. Not a mistake, a decision — kids latch onto grouches, and there is a long puppet tradition of it. The film passed half a million views. See the film →

2

Then he got small enough to travel

Seven feet is a problem. He couldn't be shipped, couldn't sit on a table at a conference, couldn't go anywhere without a human folded up inside him. So he was shrunk: ten inches, vegan fur, still scowling.

The joke that came with him was the good one — most bitcoin has to live on the blockchain, and this one can live wherever you leave it. Read the origin story → · the actual plushie →

3

Now he has a payment address

Bitty's entire job was explaining bitcoin to people who didn't own any. When those people go looking, the place they land is bitcoin.org — the plain, unglamorous site that explains the thing and asks for nothing.

And it really does ask for close to nothing: at current prices, its donation address has taken in roughly $9,000 over its entire history — checked transaction by transaction against the Bitcoin blockchain, not a guess. That's a small enough number that a token's tax can genuinely move it, not just gesture at it.

So that's where the money goes. Not to a treasury, not to a team wallet, not to a foundation that has to be trusted: to the donation address bitcoin.org publishes for itself, with a transaction id posted here every time.

A familiar face, already on bitcoin.org

Open bitcoin.org's own whitepaper page and an animated round, grumpy, orange bitcoin character in a spacesuit plays automatically — see it for yourself →. Open its FAQ page and the same character shows up again, this time in a top hat with a monocle and cane — see it for yourself →. Same grumpy face, same round furry body, two of the most-visited pages on the site.

To be clear about what that is and isn't: this doesn't make Bitty and bitcoin.org affiliated, and this project isn't claiming otherwise anywhere on this page. It's just a genuinely fun coincidence of style worth seeing with your own eyes before you decide what to make of it.

Bitty the character, the short film and the plushie are the work of Spiral and Uncute. This token is an unaffiliated fan project inspired by them, using its own original artwork. It is not endorsed by, connected to, or operated by Spiral, Uncute, bitcoin.org, or the Bitcoin project — and buying it is not a purchase of the plushie.

BTCB — the pair, and the reason the tax is already bitcoin
On flap.sh the tax is charged in the token's quote asset. Pairing against Binance-Peg BTCB means every cent of tax is denominated in bitcoin from the moment it is collected — nothing has to be gambled on a swap later.

FAQ

Reasonable questions

bitcoin.org, at the address it publishes on its own support page: bc1q…. Nobody involved in this token can retrieve it. Don't take that from us — open bitcoin.org's support page yourself and compare the address character by character.
Because it can't be. The tax is collected as BTCB on BNB Chain, and bitcoin.org's address is on Bitcoin. No contract on BNB Chain can send a native Bitcoin transaction, so the conversion and the send are done manually and then published as a transaction id. Any project claiming a fully trustless BNB-to-Bitcoin donation is describing something that does not exist.
Take any tx id from the receipts section and paste it into mempool.space or any Bitcoin explorer. You will see the amount and the destination address. This page does the same lookup live, which is why a row can show up as unconfirmed or invalid instead of just being asserted.
No. Bitty the puppet, the short film and the plushie are Spiral's and Uncute's work, and this is an unaffiliated fan project that credits them and links to the originals. The artwork on this site is its own. bitcoin.org has not endorsed this token and has no involvement in it — anyone can send bitcoin to a public donation address, and that is all that is happening here.
None of the tax. 100% of what the tax collects is destined for bitcoin.org. Note that flap.sh itself takes its own protocol fee at the platform level, before the tax reaches the payout wallet — that is the launchpad's fee, not a project fee, and the tracker only ever counts what actually arrived.
On flap.sh, at launch. The link will be published here and on the official channels.
On flap.sh — use the Buy button at the top of this page.
No. It is a grumpy plush bitcoin with a donation mechanism bolted to it. Memecoins routinely go to zero and this one is no exception — the donations to bitcoin.org are the only outcome anyone here is promising.
