Bitcast Crosses 8M Audience and $423K in Creator Rewards in May

Crypto’s creator marketing layer has historically been a mess of opaque KOL (Key Opinion Leader) deals, flat-fee influencer arrangements, and post-campaign reports that arrive too late to be useful.

Bitcast (Subnet 93) is the clearest counterexample running on Bittensor right now, and the May recap numbers make the case directly. The combined Bitcast and Stitch3 network now reaches 8.05 million total audience members across YouTube and X (Formerly Twitter), with 603 creators participating and more than $423,000 in total rewards paid to creators all-time.

The full dashboard is live and verifiable, which is the structural detail that separates this from every previous attempt at crypto creator infrastructure.

The Headline Numbers

May closed with the network proving that all four sides of the creator marketplace are functioning at once.

The growth totals as of June 1st:

a. 603 creators across Bitcast and Stitch3.

b. 8.05 million total audience size spanning YouTube subscribers and X followers.

c. $423,738 in total creator rewards paid lifetime.

d. $227,400 in all-time tracked revenue across YouTube and Stitch3 revenue wallets.

e. 50% of revenue allocated to $SN93 buybacks, 50% held in $TAO.

The combination matters because a creator marketplace without genuine audience reach is useless to brands, a creator network without secure payouts is useless to creators, and a subnet without real revenue is hard for investors to evaluate. Bitcast is now demonstrating all three at scale.

Stitch3 Is the Fastest-Growing Side of the Network

Stitch3 is Bitcast’s expansion beyond YouTube into X distribution, and May was its breakout month. Current stats:

a. 530 creators, up from 234 on May 1st. A 126% month-over-month increase.

b. 4.69 million total followers across the creator base.

c. 1.32 million views generated across the platform.

d. $70,003 in rewards earned by participating creators.

e. 2.29% 30-day engagement rate, which is the more useful signal than raw reach because it shows audiences actually interacting with the content.

The category expansion is the more strategic detail. Stitch3 is no longer Bittensor-only, with creator coverage now extending into prediction markets, the Hyperliquid ecosystem, AI agents, and an upcoming Privacy vertical.

The expansion gives brands targeted creator access across the specific ecosystems they care about, rather than generic crypto distribution.

The YouTube Side Is Now a Top-Tier Aggregate Player

Bitcast’s YouTube engine handles the long-form attention layer that X/Twitter cannot. Current all-time statistics:

a. 73 creators in the YouTube network.

b. 3.36 million total subscribers across the creator base.

c. 90,200 total watch hours accumulated to date.

d. 782 videos produced through Bitcast campaigns.

e. #2 in crypto YouTube rankings by subscribers among the tracked set.

The watch-hours figure is the more meaningful number than impressions, since watch time is one of the cleanest indicators of real audience attention.

Ranking second in the tracked crypto YouTube set is the visible proof that Bitcast is no longer adding creators in isolation, but is becoming a recognizable aggregate force in the category.

The Revenue and Buyback Flywheel

The dashboard’s revenue section is where the SN93 value loop becomes visible. Current revenue stats:

a. $227,400 in all-time revenue tracked, equivalent to 790 $TAO.

b. 50% held in $TAO as treasury reserves.

c. 50% allocated to $SN93 buybacks.

d. $17,400 in tokens bought back from the open market.

e. $46,219 in total value distributed through the system.

The flywheel structure: Brands fund campaigns, creators produce content, audiences engage, creators earn rewards, and revenue flows into Bitcast wallets. A portion of that revenue routes back through $SN93 buybacks and treasury building.

The dashboard makes every step of the loop publicly auditable, which is the structural detail that turns a creator marketing pitch into something brands can actually underwrite.

What This Tells Us About Where Bitcast Lands

Bitcast is moving from concept to proof faster than most crypto creator infrastructure attempts have ever managed. The 8.05 million audience figure, the 603 active creators, the $423,000 in rewards already paid, and the publicly verifiable buyback activity together make the case that the model is working at a meaningful scale.

The cleaner read is that Bitcast is building the infrastructure layer crypto creator marketing has been missing for years, replacing opaque KOL arrangements with measurable network-level performance and on-chain revenue accrual.

The next test is whether brand-side spend scales quickly enough to keep the flywheel turning at higher creator counts, but the May numbers suggest the trajectory is already pointed in the right direction.
