We’re happy to share that #BitAds Subnet 16 has completed its first Buyback & Burn using revenue generated over the past few weeks. $TAO The total value was approximately $1,300 (around 6 TAO), which was used to buy back 1,887 ALPHA on Subnet 16. These 1,887 ALPHA have now been burned. This marks an important first step for BitAds as a revenue-generating subnet. Real revenue is now being used to buy back and burn ALPHA, directly supporting the long-term health of the ecosystem. We’ll be back next week with the next BitAds buyback. Thank you to everyone supporting BitAds. #subnet16 #sn16 #bittensor

#BitAds has officially locked 220K ALPHA on Subnet 16 as Perpetual Conviction. That represents 700 $TAO committed long-term. We believe in Subnet 16, we believe in Bittensor, and we are here to keep building. Locked. Aligned. Long-term.

The answer is YES. $TAO All the tokens will be locked next Monday, on June 15. Also, the buy-back program on SN16 will start from the same day, occurring weekly, every Monday. #bittensor #subnet16 #sn16

Starting June 15, BitAds will officially begin its buy-back program. As promised, a portion of the revenue generated by the platform will be allocated toward buying back and injecting more $TAO into the SN16 pool. We’re seeing something we’ve been working toward for a long time: clients are already here. Real demand is starting to materialize. Emissions will follow. #bittensor #subnet16 #sn16

We wanted to share this and be fully transparent with our community. We’ve decided to convert a portion of our team-held ALPHA into operational and development funding for BitAds throughout 2026. This is being done in two planned steps, with the second step expected to take place in the next few hours. This is the first time the BitAds team has sold TAO from the subnet’s pool. Since the very beginning of the project, all development costs, infrastructure expenses, and day-to-day operations have been covered out of pocket by the team. None of those costs were funded through subnet rewards. We believe it’s important to communicate these decisions openly, especially to the people who have been supporting us from day one. On the bright side, we’re also happy to share that BitAds has recently started gaining traction as a revenue-generating subnet. Over the past weeks, we’ve seen a steady increase in both clients and active campaigns, and that growth continues week after week. For us, this is a strong signal that the market is validating what we’re building. The idea behind Proof of Sale is no longer just a concept, but it’s starting to prove itself in the real world. We’re still early, and there’s a lot of work ahead, but we’re more confident than ever about the direction we’re heading. Thank you to everyone who has supported BitAds and helped us reach this point.
