An anonymous Bitcoin holder has sent a significant transaction of $181,000 to the genesis address of Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. This symbolic gesture, verified by Arkham Intelligence, involved a transfer of 2.565 BTC to the address '1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa', the first Bitcoin address ever created. The transaction has sparked discussions about Nakamoto's untouched holdings, valued at approximately $77.17 billion.
The genesis address, which received the initial 50 BTC from the Genesis Block mined on January 3, 2009, is considered cryptographically locked, making any funds sent to it unspendable. This act is seen as a tribute to Nakamoto and highlights the cultural significance of Bitcoin's origins. Despite its symbolic nature, the transaction underscores the transparency and immutability of blockchain technology, reinforcing Bitcoin's narrative as 'digital gold.'
