THE CHIEF CAT ORIGIN
The Launch Interview
On launch day in 2013, co-founder Vlad Tenev introduced team members live on stream, culminating in holding Fidel Catstro up to the camera 10 minutes before Robinhood went live.
Chief Cat
Formally recognized as the official team mascot and "Chief Cat", Fidel Catstro represents the lore anchor on Robinhood Chain.
2013 LIVESTREAM RECORDING
THE HISTORICAL MOMENT
In 2013, exactly 10 minutes before Robinhood officially launched to the public, co-founder Vlad Tenev lifted Fidel Catstro up to the live broadcast camera. Declaring him the official "Chief Cat" of the company, this video recording stands as the undeniable historical origin story for $CATSTRO on Robinhood Chain.
HISTORICAL EVIDENCE
Baiju follows a cat on Instagram named "Fidel Catstro"
A cat-only Instagram profile, @msfidelcatstro, sits quietly among the accounts followed by Robinhood co-founder Baiju Bhatt. Not a stock ticker. Not a fintech account. A cat, with a very specific name.
The same cat has a Facebook profile — dating back to 2012
In February 2014, Baiju posted a photo with the cat. The profile itself predates that post, reaching back to 2012 — long before $CATSTRO, long before this website, long before anyone was looking.
A second photo, same day, no cat in the way
In the Facebook photo, Baiju's face is partially covered by the cat. But an archived snapshot of Robinhood's own "Company" page from that same era — captured on the Wayback Machine — shows a different angle from the same shoot. No cat blocking the view this time.
