The problem with having cryptocurrency as emoji is agreeing on the specification how it should be drawn, and also make it different enough from already existing emojis such as coin 🪙. It is not exactly a tangible thing.

    Just make it the B symbol they use in the coin? None of the others would exist in their current fashion, without Bitcoin anyway.

    Bitcoin is a brand name there which means they can't do that. Also if bitcoin deserves its own symbol (and I don't think it necessarily does) then all the cryptocurrencies such as ethereum also deserve one.
