Anonymous holder sends $181K in Bitcoin to Satoshi Nakamoto’s wallet
Summary
An anonymous Bitcoin holder sent 2.5 BTC, valued at approximately $181,000, to the wallet linked to Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin. The transaction went to the “genesis address,” the first Bitcoin wallet created on January 3, 2009. Funds sent to this address are considered unreachable as the private keys are likely lost or destroyed. While not unprecedented, such high-value transfers are uncommon, with supporters occasionally sending small amounts as a tribute to Bitcoin’s origins. Satoshi Nakamoto’s wallet currently holds 1.1 million Bitcoin, worth around $77 billion, making them the 25th wealthiest person globally, according to Forbes.
