Bitcoin is not the only cryptocurrency to have its hashtag emoji removed from X as the Bitcoin 2024 conference kicked off on July 25.

Elon Musk’s X is once again causing a stir in the cryptocurrency community by removing cryptocurrency emojis, which had been in use for over four years.

The crypto community on X is puzzled by the reasons for deleting several crypto emojis — including Bitcoin

According to multiple reports, X removed the Bitcoin hashtag emoji alongside a few other crypto emojis on July 25.

Crypto emoji removals on X are not limited to Bitcoin

The cryptocurrency community has quickly reacted to the news of the crypto emoji removals, with many industry advocates expressing sadness about the missing emojis.

Some observers speculated that the removal of Bitcoin emojis from X could negatively impact the Bitcoin price. The removals were not exclusive to BTC though.

As previously reported, X co-founder Jack Dorsey officially debuted the Bitcoin emoji in February 2020. At the time, Bitcoin was trading at around $10,000, according to data from CoinGecko.

Removal of emojis occurred during Bitcoin 2024 conference

The timing of the move has puzzled some observers, happening just as the Bitcoin 2024 conference began in Nashville, Tennessee, on July 25.

Before removing cryptocurrency emojis from X, Musk added a dedicated emoji for the Trump-themed memecoin, MAGA (TRUMP), on July 18. The MAGA emoji has also been removed from X.

The emoji featured the former president with his fist raised in the air after surviving an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania in mid-July. Musk shared a photograph shortly after the shooting and declared that he was “fully” endorsing Trump as a presidential candidate.
