ViaBTC mining pool sold the first Satoshi of a block of a new era called “epic Satoshi” for 33.3 BTC, which at the time of the transaction was valued at $2.13 million. The transaction was made on the CoinEx cryptocurrency exchange as part of an auction that lasted about two days.
The company also emphasized that this is one of four “epic Satoshis” in the entire Bitcoin ecosystem. These assets can be collected, transferred, or sold to other people through “alternative means.”
Note that ViaBTC mined “epic Satoshi” on April 20, 2024, opening a new era of Bitcoin mining, as described by the organization. Later, the pool team put the rare asset up for auction at a price of 1 BTC.
Earlier, Bitcoin miner Foundry informed members of the Foundry USA Pool that it had taken certain steps to “isolate” the first Satoshi block of the new era. The team added that if they manage to obtain the asset, the profits from it will be distributed among clients.
