In a concerted effort to elevate Bitcoin’s visibility and recognition in the digital realm, a coalition of over 35 prominent crypto firms spearheaded by Nexo has been actively advocating for the inclusion of a Bitcoin emoji on all digital keyboards. The initiative, dubbed “Bitcoin Deserves An Emoji,” has gained significant momentum over the course of 40 days, with enthusiastic backing from industry giants such as Bitget, Kraken, Polygon, and numerous others.
Today, the campaign received a substantial boost as Joe Nakamoto, a respected crypto influencer based in Portugal, released a compelling video on Twitter featuring a lineup of prominent figures within the crypto ecosystem. The video, aimed at further amplifying the message of the initiative, showcases endorsements from notable personalities including Peter McCormack, Jack Mallers, Lina Seiche, Aubrey Strobel, Paolo Ardoino, Dylan LeClair, Nico, Matt Odell, Girl Gone Crypto, American HODL, Pete Rizzo, Isabella, and Uncle Rockstar Developer.

Crypto Community Rallies Behind Cause
These endorsements underscore the widespread recognition of Bitcoin’s cultural and technological significance, as well as the collective determination within the crypto community to secure its rightful place in digital communication. The campaign has already garnered over 13,000 signatures, marking a significant milestone on its journey towards the ultimate goal of 50,000 signatures.
The petition, hosted on Change.org, serves as a catalyst for a formal proposal to the Unicode Consortium, the organization responsible for standardizing emojis across digital platforms. The proposal is set to be submitted during the Consortium’s 2024 submission period, with the aim of securing the long-awaited Bitcoin emoji as a universally recognized symbol.
At the forefront of the “Bitcoin Deserves An Emoji” campaign stands Nexo, a leading digital asset services provider renowned for its global reach and innovative solutions. Having processed over $130 billion for more than 7 million users across more than 200 jurisdictions since its inception, Nexo brings unparalleled expertise and influence to the initiative, driving forward the collective efforts of the crypto community toward a common goal.
As the campaign continues to gain traction and momentum, fueled by the unwavering support of crypto enthusiasts and industry leaders alike, the prospect of a Bitcoin emoji taking its place alongside other iconic symbols in the digital lexicon grows ever closer. With unity, determination, and a shared vision, the crypto community stands poised to make history by securing a symbol that embodies the spirit of decentralization and financial sovereignty for generations to come.
