Two years ago, programmer Casey Rodarmor, one of the founders of the Ordinals project, published material classifying the rarity of Satoshi. He divided them into classes: from ordinary to epic. The latter includes the first satoshi genesis block of Bitcoin, probably belonging to Satoshi Nakamoto. According to Rodarmore, there are only 32 “epic” satoshis.
According to Adam Swick, the price of an “epic” Satoshi can be millions of dollars.
“If we compare satoshis that appear every two weeks and satoshis produced every four years, their value is not comparable. I can’t say for sure, but it is measured in millions.”
According to Swick, Marathon Digital has a portfolio that includes several thousand “uncommon” satoshis. The company analyzes the market to determine whether they need to be sold.
“Miners are hunting for the “epic” Satoshi. We understand that this is a kind of lottery,” said Marathon Digital’s director of development.
According to Swick, only large miners with a high hashrate can claim the “epic” Satoshi. For example, Marathon Digital accounts for 5% of the global hashrate, and accordingly, it can claim to receive the first “epic” Satoshi after halving.
Marathon Digital previously said that the upcoming Bitcoin halving will test the industry and determine the most efficient and financially stable firms.
