While BTC’s Price Slid Lower, a Miner Spent an 11-Year-Old Block Reward from 2010 Worth $1.8M

While BTC's Price Slid Lower, a Miner Spent an 11-Year-Old Block Reward from 2010 Worth $1.8M

Following the large string of block rewards from 2010 spent in November 2021, no block rewards from that year were discovered in December and throughout the next month up until January 21. On Friday, an 11-year-old block reward originally mined on November 22, 2010, was transferred for the first time since being idle for more than a decade.

Block 93,276: The First 2010 Block Transferred in 2022

The first recorded 2010 block subsidy reward has been transferred on Friday, after close to two months of zero 2010 block reward spending. The block reward of 50 BTC was worth roughly $1.8 million at the time of transfer. The owner of the BTC address, however, did not spend the corresponding bitcoin cash (BCH) and bitcoinsv (BSV), which equates to a touch less than $20K for the 100 unspent coins.

The very last 2010 block reward spends occurred when the mega whale spent 20 BTC block rewards with 1,000-decade-old bitcoins when BTC tapped an all-time price high. The 50 BTC spend on January 21, was split into two separate addresses as one contains 10 BTC and the other holds 40 BTC.

The transaction was sent with a very low privacy rating according to Blockchair statistics and the privacy-o-meter tool give the transfer a score of 45 with matched addresses identified. While there hasn’t been a great number of 2010 block rewards spend until January 21, there has been a number of 2011 spends.

There were 11 block rewards from 2011 transferred in November, eight block reward transfers in December, and one spend from 2011 so far this year. A single block from 2012 was spent this month, 15 block rewards from 2013, and six so far from 2014.

So far seven blockchain rewards from 2015 have been moved, and approximately 14 rewards from 2016 during the course of the year. Data from bitquery.io indicates that the 50 BTC from 2010 may have gone to the crypto asset exchange Coinbase, according to onchain movements. The 2010 block spend was caught by Btcparser.com and a chart from theholyroger.com’s ‘not Satoshi’s bags tracker,’ shows a visual perspective.

While it’s been a long time since the last 2010 spend, the length of time between now and the last 2009 block reward spend was on May 20, 2020, or 612 days ago. That particular spend was unique because the BTC was issued a mere month after Satoshi Nakamoto launched the network.

Block reward 3,654 spent that day on May 20, 2020, was approximately 50 BTC that was sent to two addresses. One address with 40 BTC was recently spent seven months ago on June 11, 2021, after it sat idle for more than a year.

What do you think about the miner that spent the idle 50 bitcoin block reward from 2010? Let us know what you think about this subject in the comments section below.

Year of sponsorships: Celebrities who embraced crypto in 2021
