Michael Saylor Warns BIP 110 Could Threaten Bitcoin’s Neutrality

Saylor says the proposal could weaken Bitcoin’s neutral rules, while supporters say it would curb Ordinals spam and reduce burdens on node operators.

  • On Sunday, Strategy Chairman Michael Saylor criticized Bitcoin Improvement Proposal-110 , arguing the temporary soft fork could weaken Bitcoin's neutral base rules.
  • Introduced in December 2025, BIP-110 seeks to restrict non-monetary transactions like Ordinals to preserve Bitcoin's function as peer-to-peer cash, limiting OP_RETURN outputs to 83 bytes.
  • Saylor contends the network should not use consensus changes to filter valid transactions, suggesting fee markets and second-layer solutions should manage resource use instead.
  • Ocean founder Luke Dashjr and other supporters argue that Ordinals-driven bloat poses a 'serious threat' to the network, claiming the fork imposes only a one-year limit.
  • Activation requires 55% support from nodes, though current support remains near 1% amid disagreement. The dispute echoes the Blocksize Wars, testing how Bitcoin reaches consensus when developers diverge.
