Satoshi-Era Bitcoin Worth $8.3 Million Moves After 16 Years
Summary
A batch of 100.02 Bitcoin mined in July 2010 moved for the first time in 16 years, worth about $8.3 million at the time of transfer. The coins were split between two new modern-format addresses, with a transaction fee of about $1.22. Galaxy Research says these specific coins had remained untouched since 2010, despite earlier activity by the original address involving other coins. The transfer does not identify the owner or establish that the Bitcoin was sold; as of Thursday, both portions remained in their destination addresses. The move follows several other transfers of long-dormant Bitcoin from the network’s early years.
