On the final breath of July, as the sun dipped into the horizon of forgotten epochs, five ancient bitcoin block rewards from 2010 stirred from their decade-long slumber. A treasure trove worth nearly $30 million, this hoard was cleaved between two newborn, yet enigmatic, Pay-to-Witness-Public-Key-Hash (P2WPKH) wallets, as if the past whispered secrets to the future. 🕰️✨
15-Year-Old Bitcoin Rewards Spring to Life, Mocking Our Mortal Urgency
Old souls, those who hoard the relics of a bygone era, continue to shuffle their vintage coins, dusting off bitcoin that has lain dormant for over a decade. Today, in the sultry embrace of July 2025, the first stirrings of 2010-era activity emerged, as a phantom hand transferred 250 BTC—untouched for a staggering 15 years and 3 months. These funds, birthed from five legacy Pay-to-Public-Key-Hash (P2PKH) addresses, each moved 50 BTC, according to the oracles at btcparser.com.
These were the spoils of a miner’s toil between April 18 and April 29, 2010—a time when the world was younger, and Satoshi’s shadow loomed large. Of the 250 BTC awakened, 150 BTC found refuge in a brand-new Pay-to-Witness-Public-Key-Hash (P2WPKH) Segregated Witness address, while the remaining 100 BTC alighted in another freshly minted P2WPKH wallet. Earlier this month, the air crackled with tales of a great wave of 2011 wallet activity, as if the past were a tempest refusing to be stilled. 🌊💸
Just recently, more than 80,000 BTC tied to 2011-created wallets were funneled to Galaxy for liquidation, only to be scattered across the altars of centralized exchange (CEX) platforms for sale. The media, ever eager to drape drama upon the mundane, christened these coins “Satoshi-era” bitcoins—a label as misleading as a siren’s song, unless the coins can be traced to block rewards from 2010 or earlier. Coins of 2011, though ancient in their own right, do not merit this hallowed title; only the blocks of 2009 and 2010 dwell within the true Satoshi-era. 🧙♂️🔮
Though today’s expenditure involved 2010 block subsidies, they were mined just after Satoshi had vanished into the ether, his pickaxe laid to rest. Yet, Whale Alert’s X account, ever vigilant, trumpeted the event, noting that two of the coinbase rewards might still nestle within the Satoshi-era bracket. “According to our research, the two 50 BTC dormant address transactions earlier today were mined at the twilight of Satoshi’s reign (until around block 54,316),” the X account proclaimed.
Whale Alert added, with a wink and a nod:
“However, it is very unlikely the blocks were mined by Satoshi. We will be publishing a full list of possible Satoshi blocks in the near future.”
At TopMob, we delved into the annals of Sergio Demian Lerner’s Patoshi Blocks list, and none of the five blocks appear to bear Satoshi’s touch. Still, unlike the 2011 batches, these qualify as “Satoshi-era” mined coins—relics of a time when the world was young, and dreams were forged in code. 🌌💻
