BERT, the ticker for Bertram the Pomeranian, is a Solana-based memecoin that launched on Pumpfun and has since built a working AI platform, a sold-out NFT collection, and a staking protocol on top of its original meme identity. As of early June 2026, BERT trades at roughly $0.013 to $0.017 depending on the exchange, with a market cap in the range of $13 million to $17 million and a circulating supply close to 967 million tokens. Its contract address on Solana is HgBRWfYxEfvPhtqkaeymCQtHCrKE46qQ43pKe8HCpump. That suffix, “HCpump,” confirms its origin on the Pumpfun launchpad.Who Is Bertram the Pomeranian?Bertram is a real chocolate Pomeranian owned by New York art gallery owner Kathy Grayson. He was abandoned by a breeder at five months old for being “too big to sell,” rescued from an Oklahoma shelter, and eventually built an Instagram following of over 400,000 people under the handle @bertiebertthepom. He went viral after Grayson dressed him in a Paddington Bear costume, which led to international morning show appearances and editorial shoots for publications including PAPER Magazine.

What Are BERT’s Tokenomics?BERT is an SPL token, which is the standard token format on Solana, equivalent to what ERC-20 is on Ethereum. The maximum supply is 979.95 million tokens, with approximately 967 million currently in circulation. Because nearly the entire supply is already circulating, there is little risk of significant future dilution from new token issuance.Three market makers are allocated 1% of total supply specifically to support liquidity. This allocation is designed to reduce slippage during trades, the difference between the expected price and the actual execution price when buying or selling, and to make larger trades more practical without destabilizing the market. The project’s smart contracts have been audited by Hacken, a Web3 security firm that publishes public audit reports.The project also holds exclusive commercial IP rights to the Bertram character. In practical terms, this means the team can legally produce and sell merchandise under the Bertram brand, including the plushies currently in manufacturing, without licensing disputes. Most memecoins using recognizable characters do not have this kind of legal foundation.Where Can You Buy BERT?BERT trades on several exchanges. On the decentralized side, Raydium is the primary market, where it trades as BERT/SOL. On centralized exchanges, Gate carries the highest-volume pair, BERT/USDT. KuCoin and BloFin also list BERT for spot trading, and Kraken has added the token with notable activity. A new exchange listing was announced by the project’s official account in late March 2026, though the specific platform was not named at the time.The major update came on June 4, when Binance US announced the listing of BERT. Worth noting, BERT carries the risks that come with any Pumpfun-origin memecoin, plus a few specific to its structure.On the platform side, Pump.fun is currently facing a $5.5 billion class-action lawsuit filed in January 2025. The complaint alleges the platform facilitated insider advantages during token launches and operated as an “unlicensed casino.” The lawsuit names Pump.fun’s operators alongside Solana Labs, the Solana Foundation, and Jito Labs. None of the allegations have been proven in court, but the legal proceedings add uncertainty to the broader Pump.fun ecosystem.On the token side, BERT’s price is highly sensitive to overall memecoin sentiment, which can reverse quickly and without warning. Market cap in the $13 million to $17 million range puts BERT in low-cap territory, where thin liquidity can amplify price swings in both directions.
