Bitcoin-native project MemeBitcoin raises $8M strategic round backed by Gemhead and Archer

MemeBitcoin (MBTC), a Bitcoin-native meme project that gamifies the race to secure or crack Satoshi-era wallets ahead of quantum threats, has raised an $8M strategic round from Gemhead Capital, Archer Capital, M2M Capital and Mayer Venture. Funds will support whitelist access, a global KOL push, full launch and CEX listing prep.

MemeBitcoin (MBTC) has raised $8 million in a strategic round backed by Gemhead Capital, Archer Capital, M2M Capital and Mayer Venture, per a company announcement. The Bitcoin-native meme project plans to use the capital to fund its next growth phase, including a global community campaign, full public launch and preparation for centralized exchange listings.

MBTC positions itself around the long-standing question of what happens to Satoshi-era wallets as quantum computing advances. The project runs a web app where users generate and test candidate private keys against Satoshi’s public key, complete missions and share content, with every action logged as a contribution toward token allocation. The MBTC token has no team pre-allocation; the full supply is distributed via participation.

The team says its objective is twofold: pressure Satoshi-era coin holders to move funds to safer setups before quantum hardware matures, and, failing that, leverage community-generated data and effort to attempt decryption themselves. MemeBitcoin reported 23,700 total users and 18,350 daily active users as of late August 2026, with a 92% social and game completion rate, 85% registered user retention and 2.4 million Satoshi wallet decryption attempts, all reportedly achieved without paid advertising.
