Billy launched on November 25 as a tribute to Shibetoshi Nakamoto, co-creator of Dogecoin. Early attention was limited, with the coin sitting at around $200K market cap before dropping to roughly $100K.

Shortly after launch, @coinsolmaxi redirected the creator rewards to Billy’s wallet as a gesture of respect.

The dynamic changed when Billy acknowledged the project on X, thanking the community for the coin creation and for sending him the rewards.

To build on that moment, the team sent 4% of the supply directly to Billy. He responded by burning it.

Following his post, Billy reached an all-time high of $4.9M. Since the redirection, he has earned over $17,5K from Creator Rewards.
