Taproot Wizards, a leading Bitcoin NFT project, announced its highly anticipated public sale of 2,121 unique digital collectibles will begin March 25. The mint will occur in two phases: a whitelist sale at 0.2 BTC followed by a Dutch auction for remaining pieces.
Eligibility for the whitelist wasn’t simply a matter of signing up. Prospective collectors needed to complete whimsical “quests,” including recording videos of themselves showering in wizard costumes. Holders of the project’s previous collection, Quantum Cats, can also participate. Those with “entangled” Quantum Cats – one with “alive” trait and one with “dead” trait – qualify for a discounted price of 0.1 BTC.
The artwork collection pays homage to the iconic 2013 Bitcoin Wizard meme, with each piece permanently inscribed on the Bitcoin blockchain using Ordinals technology. Though inscribed two years ago, these digital artworks have never been available for sale until now, building substantial anticipation among collectors.
In January 2024, Taproot Wizards launched its Quantum Cats collection at 0.1 BTC, which sold out within minutes. Following this success, the project secured $30 million in funding led by Standard Crypto in February 2025.
Separately, Taproot Wizards led a strategic funding round for ODIN•FUN, a marketplace for Bitcoin memecoins. The platform, modeled after Solana’s Pump.fun, handles the full lifecycle of Bitcoin-based tokens through Dfinity’s Internet Computer and the Runes protocol. ODIN•FUN has already processed $30 million in trading volume since its public launch in February.
