Bitcoin Pepe price climbs as presale nears $8.2M, driven by Solana-on-Bitcoin hype

• Token price has doubled since launch, now at $0.0326.
• Described as “Solana on Bitcoin” with a new PEP-20 token standard.
• Total supply capped at 2.1 billion, with 50% allocated to presale.

Bitcoin Pepe, the world’s only Bitcoin meme ICO, is going viral as its presale continues to surge past expectations.

With $8,162,738 raised so far and buyers scrambling to secure tokens before the next price jump, interest in this meme-specialised layer 2 has intensified.

Often described as “Solana on Bitcoin,” the project is building a fast, scalable meme coin trading platform on top of the Bitcoin network—something many traders see as long overdue.

Now approaching its tenth stage, Bitcoin Pepe’s presale started at $0.021 per token, with prices rising 5% at each stage.

This structure has rewarded early participants, with current pricing at $0.0326.

At final listing, the token is expected to reach around $0.086—meaning first-stage buyers could see nearly 300% gains before Bitcoin Pepe even launches on exchanges.

Bitcoin Pepe price movement gains momentum

The project launched its presale on 11 February and raised over $1 million within hours.

That early burst of interest triggered a snowball effect, with community engagement and trading interest growing fast.

As of this week, the total raised has crossed $8.1 million, and the token price has more than doubled.

This performance is especially notable in a year when meme coins have returned to mainstream attention.

With established meme tokens like PEPE and Dogwifhat making strong gains in 2025, many are betting that Bitcoin Pepe will tap into similar energy—only this time on Bitcoin.

As price stages continue to sell out, momentum appears to be growing rather than slowing.

Analysts note that Bitcoin Pepe could be among the top-performing ICOs of the year if this pace holds, especially as the number of tokens left in each stage continues to shrink.

Solana-style trading experience on Bitcoin

Bitcoin Pepe’s technology aims to solve the long-standing user experience problem with meme coin trading on Bitcoin.

Its layer 2 infrastructure delivers the kind of speed and low fees typically associated with Solana, but while operating securely within Bitcoin’s framework.

This fusion has unlocked significant attention. For years, Bitcoin has been viewed primarily as a store of value rather than a platform for meme coins.

Bitcoin Pepe challenges that by enabling high-speed meme coin swaps, lightning-fast settlement, and eventually, decentralised finance, all rooted in Bitcoin’s network.

The bridge between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Pepe unlocks up to $2 trillion of capital, creating a new meme economy for BTC holders.

No need to bridge to Ethereum or Solana—Bitcoin Pepe brings the action home.

PEP-20 token standard reshapes meme coin creation

Forget BRC-20s, Bitcoin Pepe introduces a new token format—PEP-20—which will allow users to issue and trade meme coins directly on its layer 2.

This standard lowers the barrier for meme coin creation and mimics the success Ethereum saw after ERC-20 took off.

If the PEP-20 standard gains traction, Bitcoin Pepe could become a hub for not only meme coins but also NFTs and DeFi on Bitcoin.

This layer 2 positions itself as the future of Bitcoin-based economic activity and aims to host all meme-driven liquidity in one place.

Tokenomics and investor confidence

Bitcoin Pepe has a total supply of 2.1 billion tokens, a nod to Bitcoin’s 21 million cap. Half the supply is allocated to the presale, with 15% reserved for staking rewards.

The rest covers development, marketing, and liquidity.

Unlike many meme coins, the team behind Bitcoin Pepe is fully doxxed, and its smart contract has been audited.

These measures have helped build trust among investors looking for transparency in a high-risk market.

With the presale entering advanced stages, many traders are now watching whether Bitcoin Pepe can maintain its momentum through its final stages and deliver strong returns post-launch.
