Highlights
- X removes emoji that appears with the use of #Bitcoin on the platform.
- The decision to remove this feature amid recent events sparked discussions.
- Nexo, the crypto institution, pushes for global adoption of the same feature.
Elon Musk’s social media company X made a significant change on Friday, removing the Bitcoin hashtag emoji. The Bitcoin emoji that appeared with the use of ‘#Bitcoin’ has been abolished. This decision amid the ongoing BTC conference in Nashville has sparked a wave of discussions across the broader market. Meanwhile, Nexo, a leading digital asset institution, conversely forged ahead with plans to reinstate the emoji feature on a global level.
Elon Musk’s X Ditches Hashtag Bitcoin Emoji
As seen recently, renowned personalities from all over the globe posted on X, showcasing a sense of dismay in the missing emoji when using the abovementioned phrase. The social media firm’s decision to remove this ‘special hashtag’ feature remains in a cloud of enigma.
While the Bitcoin Conference continues to offer substantial traction to the flagship crypto, Elon Musk’s firm’s decision has set off contrasting market sentiments.
Earlier this month, X removed the Trump and American flag emojis that appeared on the platform with the tags “#MAGA and #Trump2024.” Concerning this, the American entrepreneur clarified that he asked to end ‘special hashtags anyway,’ given their unclear sentiment reflection.
The abovementioned decision to halt the Bitcoin emoji appears to fall in line with this statement. Also, an official announcement on this decision by Elon Musk’s firm remains awaited by its colossal user base.
Meanwhile, a renowned digital assets institution took a contrasting stand in light of X’s decision to retire the emoji.

A verdict regarding this matter is expected by November 30 this year.
