沉睡十六年的“中本聪时代”比特币首次异动

周三,一批于2010年7月开采的共计100.02枚比特币,在沉寂16年后首次发生转移。这批资产通常被称为“中本聪时代”产物。

按照当前每枚约8.3万美元的价格计算,该批资产价值约为830万美元。而根据Bitbo记录的2010年最高BTC价格估算,当时这些币的价值仅约为29美元。

该交易于UTC时间18:52在区块970,379中得到确认。这是比特币网络大约每10分钟向公共账本添加一批交易的例行操作之一。此次转账将资金拆分至两个新的地址:10枚转入其中一个地址,其余90.02枚转入另一个地址。所谓地址,即类似于账户号码的字符字符串。

持有者支付的手续费为1,467聪(Satoshi),即一亿分之一枚比特币,折合金额约为1.22美元,用于移动价值830万美元的资产。两个接收地址均为现代化的bc1q格式,这种地址格式在当年挖矿时并不存在。交易记录中未显示任何可识别持有者身份的信息,且在不同地址间转移比特币并不等同于出售。

这两部分资产是在相隔数天内开采的:50.02枚于2010年7月26日的区块70,522中挖出,另外50枚则于2010年7月28日的区块70,748中挖出。这两笔奖励于2010年7月30日合并为一笔交易,存入那个刚刚完成转移的地址中。

The historical background and value changes

No one knew at the time, but 2010 was destined to be a special year in Bitcoin's history. A Florida programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz once used 10,000 bitcoins to buy two pizzas, which was about $41 at the time. Today, the value of this asset has increased by more than a million times.

Since then, mining rewards have been halved four times, the most recent one being a halving event in April 2024, when the rewards dropped to 3.125 bitcoins. This cyclical event occurs approximately every four years. In contrast, the income from digging up a block today is only one-sixteenth of that from the two blocks back then.

Address Activity Tracking

The address itself is not completely idle: it transferred 100 bitcoins twice on August 8, 2015, 100 in December 2017, and 249 in March 2018. But these are other bitcoins-the Bitcoin system treats money as a separate individual unit like banknotes, so an address can spend some assets while others remain static. The Galaxy platform tracks specific coins rather than addresses and points out that this particular batch of coins has not been moved since 2010.

Coins from the early days of Bitcoin are known as the "Satoshi Era" coins, named after the network's anonymous founder, Satoshi Nakamoto. Recently, such coins are gradually awakening in clusters. For example, in February 2025, a batch of 50 bitcoins, each worth only US$0.10 during mining, were transferred after sleeping for about 15 years, and their value would be about US$5 million by then. Holders skipped the test transaction-people usually send small exploratory transfers first to ensure that the target address is valid.

In August this year, another batch of 49.97 bitcoins, which were first received in July 2011 and were traded at less than US$15 at that time, were transferred after sleeping for about 15 years and entered a wallet marked as FalconX by blockchain analysis platform Arkham. FalconX is a major broker serving trading companies. The label alone does not prove that a sale occurred.

Between August 16 and 26, a total of 553.59 bitcoins worth approximately US$40 million were transferred from six wallets that had been dormant since 2011, 2012, or 2014. Two of the wallets carried tags related to a lawsuit filed jointly by the State of New Jersey that required the court to declare 39,069 dormant addresses abandoned property.

As of Thursday, the 10 and 90.02 bitcoins remained in their new addresses without any further action. So Bitcoin holders can breathe a sigh of relief: the giant whale has not yet sold its assets-at least not yet.
