An unidentified individual began trading on January 5, depositing 26.9 BTC, worth approximately $1.19 million, into the Genesis wallet. The Genesis wallet is the first wallet created on the Bitcoin (BTC) network by a pseudonymous entity known as Satoshi Nakamoto.

This transaction took place at 1:52 a.m. ET, two days after Bitcoin celebrated its 15th anniversary, and attracted attention because it was impossible to retrieve.

Arkham Intelligence, an on-chain analytics platform, reported that before depositing Bitcoin into the Genesis wallet, the owner of the mysterious wallet funded it through complex transactions involving various addresses.

Arkham Intelligence also said it traced most of the funds to wallets believed to be owned by Binance.

Just before the transfer to the Satoshi Nakamoto wallet, the mysterious sender withdrew nearly 27 BTC from the Binance exchange, with only these two transactions recorded in the wallet’s activity log.

Given that cryptocurrency exchanges like Binance are required by law to undergo strict KYC procedures, some believe that the identity of individuals who transferred to Nakamoto Wallet could potentially become known to the Binance compliance team.

In response to the news, Coinbase director Conor Grogan humorously commented, “Either Satoshi woke up and bought 27 bitcoins on Binance and deposited them into his wallet, or someone just burned a million dollars.”

Known as the brainchild of pseudonymous Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto, the Genesis Wallet has been accumulating mainly minor dust transactions since its launch on January 3, 2009.

Although it is theoretically possible that Nakamoto still holds the private keys to this wallet and can transfer funds, the common belief is that this is highly unlikely.

Evidence supporting this belief is that funds in Nakamoto-related wallets, including funds from the Genesis block, have not moved since the Bitcoin inventor’s disappearance in December 2010.

Initially, when Nakamoto disappeared, his Genesis wallet contained 50 BTC. However, over the years, funds have been flowing into the wallet, reaching 72 BTC by the end of 2023. This latest transaction brings the wallet balance to approximately 99.68 BTC, which at current exchange rates is equivalent to approximately $4.3 million.

Cryptocurrency enthusiasts have come up with several theories about this unexpected transaction.

Some believe this is a tribute to the creator of Bitcoin, considering it happened two days after Bitcoin’s 15th anniversary. Others speculate that this could have been a huge financial mistake or a costly public relations move.

At the same time, some perceive this as an attempt to create euphoria ahead of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF.
