September 1st, 2026, Meme Bitcoin, MBTC, the Bitcoin native project that turns the race to reach Satoshi's wallet into something anyone can join, has raised $8 million in a strategic round backed by Gemhead Capital, Archer Capital, M2M Capital, Capital. and Mayor Venture. The Round will fund the project's next phase of growth, including a global community campaign, full public launch and preparation for exchange listings. A deadline crypto has

An estimated 1,096,361 BTC sits in Satoshi-era wallets whose public keys have been visible on chains since 2009. For most of Bitcoin's history that exposure was a theoretical concern, progress in quantum computing is what has changed the timeline. MBTC's answer is to make the problem participatory. Through the project's web app, users generate and test candidate private keys against Satoshi's publici, complete missions and share content, with every action logged as a contribution. No tokens are pre-allocated to the team, the entire supply IS distributed through participation. The project describes its goal in two parts, to generate enough

Key METRICSMBTC reported the following figures as of late August 2026, all reached without paid advertising.

Roughly 77% of these are base returns daily, unusual at this stage, when large registration spikes typically fade within days. Most of that growth has come from referrals by existing participants rather than paid acquisition.

But the public keys in Satoshi-era wallets have been exposed since 2009, and if those keys are ever broken, the industry Bitcoin created is what stands to lose the most. You don't need to be an expert to care about this. What has been missing is a way for ordinary people to take part, Uesaka added, tens of thousands of people now join this race every day, and the community that has formed around ITUS MBTC's single biggest asset.
