Michael Saylor: BIP-110 Soft Fork Lacks Miner Support, Likely to Stall

BitcoinWorld Michael Saylor: BIP-110 Soft Fork Lacks Miner Support, Likely to Stall Michael Saylor, co-founder and executive chairman of Strategy, said on X that the proposed Bitcoin soft fork BIP-110 has effectively failed to gain broad miner backing, with only 2.6% of miners signaling support.

Saylor noted that nodes running BIP-110 would reject blocks that do not include the required support signal once block height 961,632 is reached, but because most miners are not participating, the Bitcoin network is expected to continue operating normally, while the proposal is likely to stall or remain on a separate chain with minimal influence.

What Is BIP-110 and Why Does It Matter? BIP-110 is a proposed temporary soft fork aimed at limiting non-payment data that can be inserted into Bitcoin transactions.

Its primary goal is to reduce the use of inscriptions and Runes — methods that embed arbitrary data, such as images or text, onto the blockchain — thereby lowering the burden on node operators and reducing blockchain bloat.
