Bitget Token (BGB) Burn Model Updated with First Quarterly Burn Exceeding 30 Million Tokens
VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —
Bitget
, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has announced a significant update to the burn mechanism of Bitget Token (BGB). This enhancement introduces a utility-based model that ties BGB's quarterly burn amount to its on-chain usage, signifying the token's evolution towards higher transparency, compliance, and sustainable token value.
To better reflect the growing integration of BGB across centralized and decentralized ecosystems, the new burn mechanism links quarterly burn volumes to the amount of BGB used for on-chain gas fees through Bitget Wallet's GetGas accounts. By anchoring the burn to real usage, the model facilitates BGB's transformation as a key asset within Web3 and real-world applications. The burn formula accounts for BGB's usage as gas fees, quarterly average price, and predefined constants to ensure a dynamic and verifiable process.
The first quarterly burn under this new mechanism has now been calculated. In Q1 2025, 6,943.63 BGB were topped up in Bitget Wallet's GetGas accounts for on-chain gas fee usage. Based on the new formula, a total of 30,006,905 BGB will be burnt in this quarter. All data related to the burn — including transaction records and wallet addresses — are publicly accessible on-chain to ensure full transparency.
'BGB is becoming a vital bridge between centralized and decentralized ecosystems. By linking its burn mechanism to actual on-chain utility, BGB's quarterly burn amount can evolve with real usage. This update incentivizes adoption and enables transparent and sustainable tokenomics,'
said
Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget
.
'As BGB continues to expand its role in on-chain ecosystems, a more sustainable burn mechanism can be expected.'
Bitget Token (BGB) is the utility token that fuels the entire Bitget ecosystem, spanning both its centralized exchange and decentralized wallet. BGB can be staked to earn passive income or qualify for popular token airdrops via Launchpool and PoolX. It also unlocks early access to high-potential Web3 projects through Launchpad and LaunchX. On-chain, BGB is used to cover multi-chain gas fees in Bitget Wallet. Holding BGB grants users exclusive perks such as VIP-level upgrades and profit-sharing opportunities for elite traders. More than just a token, BGB is a gateway for users to engage with, influence, and grow alongside the Bitget ecosystem.
Earlier this year, the BGB ecosystem was strengthened by permanently burning
800 million team-held tokens
, representing 40% of the total supply. Following this burn in January 2025, the total supply was reduced to 1.2 billion, with 100% now in circulation.
Launched in July 2021 at an initial price of 0.0585 USDT, BGB reached an all-time high of 8.5 USDT in December 2024 — delivering over 100x in cumulative gains. According to CoinMarketCap, it now ranks among the top three CEX native tokens by market cap and is listed as a top 30 crypto asset.

Bitcoin to $1 Million by 2028? Arthur Hayes Says It's Inevitable.
Arthur Hayes, the outspoken co-founder and former CEO of BitMEX, is no stranger to volatility, be it in markets or in politics. But when he predicts that Bitcoin will hit $1 million by 2028, it is a macroeconomic thesis grounded in decades of monetary policy missteps, geopolitical recalibration, and the slow-motion collapse of the fiat system born in 1971. A System Built On Sand Hayes sees Bitcoin's price action as a structural response to the erosion of financial sovereignty. When the U.S. decoupled the dollar from gold in 1971, it created a global financial system reliant on credit issuance, massive debt accumulation, and central bank intervention. 'The people who benefited the most are those who issue credit – commercial banks,' Hayes explains. 'And anyone who challenges their dominance tends to fall afoul of regulators.' From his perspective, Bitcoin's rise is not a random fluke, it's a very clear reaction. A decentralized, scarce, programmable asset stands in stark contrast to the highly centralized, inflationary fiat model. The Trump Factor And The Strategic Reserve Illusion Hayes is less impressed by politicians claiming to embrace Bitcoin, especially when it is there to serve a populist narrative. Take President Trump's Executive order on the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, while the move grabbed headlines and delighted many in the Bitcoin and crypto community, Hayes remains sceptical. 'Governments buy assets for political reasons and sell them for political reasons,' he warns. 'Why tether your financial future to the whim of politics?' He doesn't see this as actual adoption, but only as a tactical appeal to voters disillusioned by deindustrialization, wage stagnation, and the rise of big finance. Still, the political interest in Bitcoin, no matter how superficial, signals a shift in how governments perceive the role of digital assets in a post-dollar world. Stablecoins Will Lead, But Bitcoin Will Reclaim The Narrative In the short term, Hayes argues that stablecoins, particularly USD-backed ones like USDT, will see greater real-world adoption, especially in regions with limited banking access. 'People want dollars, not volatility,' he notes, citing the Middle East, as a major growth market for stablecoins. Afterall, the Arab region's population is only approximately 40% banked according to the ESCWA Annual SDG Review 2025. But that doesn't mean Bitcoin loses its edge in the stablecoin game. Quite the opposite. Hayes predicts Bitcoin dominance will rise to 70% just before we will see unprecedented price action to $1 million. Why $1 Million Bitcoin Isn't As Wild As It Sounds At the heart of Hayes' forecast is one simple principle: the fiat system must inflate or collapse. Either path fuels Bitcoin's rise. 'The amount of money that will need to be printed just to maintain the current economic structure is staggering,' he explains. 'That's what's going to propel Bitcoin.' Whether or not governments buy Bitcoin is secondary. Their policies of debt expansion, currency debasement, and geopolitical fragmentation will drive more capital into decentralized stores of value. In other words, Bitcoin doesn't need the Government's buy-in or permission to win. We just let governments do their thing, and this leads to Bitcoin winning. Beyond Price: A New Financial Era Hayes' prediction of $1 million isn't rooted in hype. It's based on deep scepticism about the longevity of the current financial order and belief that a decentralized alternative is not only possible but necessary. 'This isn't just about crypto,' Hayes concludes. 'It's about dismantling a system that no longer works and building something better.' Whether Bitcoin reaches $1 million by 2028 remains to be seen. But the conditions that could make it happen are already here.

Bitget Launches Starlink Program to Bridge the Digital Divide in Philippine Island Communities
Bitget Launches Starlink Program to Bridge the Digital Divide in Philippine Island Communities Bitget Launches Starlink Program to Bridge the Digital Divide in Philippine Island Communities SIARGAO, Philippines, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget , the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has launched its Starlink Program , bringing high-speed satellite internet to remote islands in the Philippines in a bold move to tackle digital inequality. The initiative, which kicked off in Siargao's Espoir School of Life and Barangay Pitogo , addresses chronic connectivity gaps that have long hindered education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. By deploying Starlink's cutting-edge technology, Bitget aims to empower these communities with reliable internet access, laying the groundwork for future blockchain education and financial inclusion. For years, Siargao's residents have relied on fragile microwave radio connections, leaving them vulnerable to frequent outages, slow speeds, and exclusion from the digital economy. Schools like Espoir, which serves underprivileged children, struggle with offline-only learning, while villages like Barangay Pitogo face isolation due to unreliable communication networks. 'Without stable internet, entire communities are locked out of modern education, remote work, and even basic services like telemedicine. This isn't just about connectivity, it's about equity. Internet access shouldn't be a privilege, it's the foundation for everything from education to decentralized finance. We're building doors to the digital world one island at a time,' said Vugar Usi Zade, COO at Bitget. The program's first phase includes a Starlink hardware installation at Espoir School and Barangay Pitogo's public school. This will provide six months of high-speed satellite internet, enabling access to online curricula, teacher training, and e-governance tools. With this, Bitget plans to provide long-term support through $10M Blockchain 4 Youth and $10M Blockchain 4 Her initiatives, which will introduce blockchain literacy and digital finance skills to students and women-led cooperatives. The total investment of 155,400 Philippine pesos, which covers hardware, subscriptions, and logistics. A modest cost for transformative impact. Bitget's initiative shows a growing recognition in the crypto industry: Adoption starts with access. By addressing infrastructure barriers first, the exchange is creating a replicable model for other underserved regions. Future phases could expand to neighboring islands, leveraging partnerships with local NGOs and government units. The Starlink kits will go live in May, with Bitget documenting the rollout through impact reports and community stories. For Espoir's students, the change will be immediate: interactive lessons, global collaborations, and soon blockchain workshops. For Barangay Pitogo, it's a leap toward resilient communication during typhoon seasons. As Bitget scales this program, the message is clear: crypto's future isn't just about markets, it's about people. And sometimes, changing lives starts with something as simple as an internet signal.
