Bitcoin Pepe Raises $14.7 Million in Presale, Delays Listing for Multi-Exchange Launch

Bitcoin Pepe, a project aiming to bring meme coin infrastructure to Bitcoin, has raised over $14.2 million in its presale. The team behind the project has delayed its initial listing date, which was set for May 31, to coordinate a synchronized and high-impact launch across multiple Tier 1 exchanges. This delay has already proven successful, with an additional $500,000 raised within 24 hours of the announcement. The project is engineering the first-ever meme coin infrastructure on Bitcoin, with a custom layer 2 (L2) and a token standard that turns Bitcoin from a vault into a canvas. This infrastructure is designed to enable native asset creation on Bitcoin, which could dramatically expand Bitcoin's surface area and utility.

The leaked screenshots of Bitcoin Pepe's layer 2 show a polished and functional interface, with a minimal but strong bridge UI, wallet integrations, safety checks, and a fully operational decentralized exchange (DEX). The care taken in the user interface and user experience design is evident, with big fonts, bold colors, and easy onboarding. The explorer feels like a trimmed-down version of Etherscan, which is fully functional, simple, and clean. This level of polish and functionality is rare for a project at this stage of development.

Bitcoin Pepe's value proposition is tied to the current macro trendline of Bitcoin, which is getting vertical. Analysts have been tossing out price targets for Bitcoin ranging from $300,000 to $1.5 million. With capital flowing into anything with native upside, Bitcoin Pepe becomes a logical next trade. The project has already signed eight cross-ecosystem partnerships, which will serve as genuine connections to established networks in gaming, DeFi infrastructure, content creation, and launch tools. These partnerships feature names such as Catamoto, and others. With influencer buzz already bubbling across crypto X and YouTube, the fear of missing out (FOMO) is only getting louder. The audience is already here; it just hasn’t had much to do.

Bitcoin Pepe is the first meme coin with the setup to do a 1000x on BTC, similar to what Solana showed us with chain-native meme coins. The project's value proposition is directly tied to the flood of capital into Bitcoin-native altcoins. Every moment counts, and every moment is an opportunity to front-run what will likely be one of the most talked-about listings this cycle. With Bitcoin running hot and retail sidelined for now, Bitcoin Pepe is a low-cap rocket tethered to the biggest chain in crypto. The project's team has delayed the listing to onboard more exchanges, align deeper liquidity, and prepare for a coordinated, multi-CEX listing that would hit hard and fast, with the presale crowd positioned closest to the explosion.
