Dog (Bitcoin), formerly known as DOG•GO•TO•THE•MOON (DOG), is a community-driven meme coin built on the Bitcoin blockchain via the Runes protocol. Launched on April 24, 2024, during the Bitcoin halving event, the entire supply of 100 billion DOG tokens was airdropped to over 75,000 holders of Runestone Ordinal NFTs, promoting a fair and decentralized distribution. The project emphasizes transparency, with no presale, team allocation, or insider advantages. Within 24 hours of its launch, DOG achieved a market capitalization of approximately $500 million, reflecting its rapid adoption and community support. As of February 2025, DOG continues to be a prominent meme coin on the Bitcoin network, with a circulating supply of 100 billion tokens and active trading on various exchanges.
