BitClout is a blockchain-based social media platform built on DeSo that allows users to create, buy, and trade account tokens tied to social profiles. BitClout's Twitter Score is 56 out of 1000 (a Good rating) as of August 2026, ranking #15,529 (top 5%) among 483,944 tracked accounts.
BitClout was founded by Nader Al-Naji and attracted backing from prominent investors including Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Coinbase Ventures, Winklevoss Capital, and Digital Currency Group. At launch, the platform drew immediate controversy by cloning profiles for the top 15,000 crypto Twitter users without their permission, minting tradeable tokens against those identities.
BitClout became the subject of significant legal action when, according to Axios, federal prosecutors took Al-Naji into custody on July 27, 2024, charging him with one count of wire fraud related to representations made about the platform's decentralization. Three days later, the SEC separately charged Al-Naji with fraud and unregistered offering of crypto asset securities, alleging he raised more than $257 million through unregistered offers and sales of the platform's native token, BTCLT, beginning in November 2020. This account is described in its bio as unofficial and community managed.
