Michael Saylor Opposes BIP 110 With 100 Reasons, Cites Lower 55% Threshold Risk

According to Odaily, Michael Saylor, founder of MicroStrategy, published a lengthy statement on July 18 opposing Bitcoin Improvement Proposal BIP 110. He outlined 100 reasons against the proposal, arguing it imposes governance intervention on a controversial but currently valid transaction class through consensus rule changes.

Saylor highlighted that BIP 110 requires a 55% miner signaling threshold, below the standard 95% threshold in BIP 9, and removes normal timeout and FAILED status safeguards. He contends that lower thresholds for controversial rule changes increase chain-split probability and may impact miner fee income and long-term network security.
