Nexo & 35+ Crypto Giants Aim for 50,000 Endorsements for Bitcoin Emoji

April 2, 2024 – Nexo and over 35 leading crypto organizations, representing more than 170 million community members worldwide, have teamed up to secure a Bitcoin emoji. In just one week, the 'Bitcoin Deserves an Emoji' movement was endorsed by no less than 10,000 people signing the petition to the Unicode Consortium. Aiming for 50,000 signatures, this effort highlights the crypto community's unity and cements Bitcoin's cultural and technological legacy. “Bitcoin Deserves an Emoji” is supported by Nexo, Brink, Bitget, Chainalysis, Kraken, Polygon, Brave, BTC Inc, OKX, Hacken, CryptoQuant, Nansen, Unstoppable Domains, Liquity, Busha, Zulu, Bware Labs, Texture Capital, Meta4 Capital, Sift, MarketAcross, Bitcompare, Bithomp, Milk Road, Crypto Oasis, Cadenza, Finance Feeds, DA Capital, Relayz, xPortal, Zima Bank, Vizsla Inu, WW Ventures, NGC Ventures, Fountain, Fact Protocol, Relai, and many more.

Backed by these 35+ crypto leaders, the 'Bitcoin Deserves an Emoji' campaign outpaces predecessors like Taco Bell’s quest for a taco emoji and Tinder’s push for an interracial couple icon. Reflecting on the two brands’ multi-year efforts, the Nexo-initiated movement draws inspiration for persistence and creativity in social-economic advocacy.

“Bitcoin's $1.34T market dominance calls for a unified symbol on all keyboards. With 1.26B total Bitcoin addresses and 190,000+ professionals and tech pioneers pushing the global community forward, the Bitcoin Emoji is long overdue”, said Kosta Kantchev, Co-founder & Executive Chairman of Nexo.

The initiative marks a significant moment in cryptocurrency history with BTC’s new all-time high, ahead of the fourth Bitcoin halving. Everyone is invited to join this historic crypto initiative and show support by signing the petition at change.org/bitcoin-deserves-an-emoji to cement Bitcoin's legacy.
