Michael Saylor, the co-founder and executive chairman of Strategy, published a 110-point essay on X Saturday urging the Bitcoin (BTC) network to reject BIP-110, the "anti-spam" soft fork proposal, weeks before its contested activation timeline comes to a head.
The essay, titled "110 Reasons BIP 110 Is a Bad Idea," had drawn more than 840,000 views by Sunday afternoon. In an accompanying post, Saylor said he shares supporters' desire to protect Bitcoin but considers the proposed cure more dangerous than the condition.
BIP-110, first published as BIP-444 in October 2025 after Bitcoin Core's v30 release lifted default OP_RETURN data limits, is a temporary one-year soft fork bundling seven restrictions on data-heavy transactions. A BIP-110-enabled client is based on Bitcoin Knots, the node software maintained by Ocean CTO Luke Dashjr, one of the proposal’s most prominent backers.
Saylor's central claim is that consensus rules cannot judge the purpose of valid, fee-paying transactions and should not try. Objectors can decline to use, relay, index, or mine unwanted data, he wrote, and any consensus rule should target a demonstrated denial-of-service or validation risk rather than perceived intent.
