2.5 BTC worth over $170,000 were sent to the “Genesis” address linked to Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. The transaction was detected by Arkham analysts, once again sparking discussion within the crypto community.

This address is known for mining the first block of the Bitcoin network. Similar transfers have happened before, but experts stress that anyone can send funds to a public wallet, and this does not indicate activity from Satoshi himself.

Analysts estimate the wallet holds about 1.096 million BTC — roughly 5% of Bitcoin’s total supply. Despite the new transaction, the likelihood of these funds being moved remains extremely low, and Satoshi’s identity remains one of crypto’s greatest mysteries.
