On June 30, someone transferred $20,000 worth of Bitcoin to the original BTC wallet created by Bitcoin's mysterious inventor, Satoshi Nakamoto.
This wallet has not been touched since 2011, when Satoshi vanished. Yet, people still send BTC to it — even though no one can access those funds unless Satoshi himself returns.
In total, that wallet now holds over $117 billion in Bitcoin, all frozen for years.
Why do people keep sending money to a dead-end address?
Some may be mistakes during withdrawals or transfers.
Others might be symbolic gestures, like honoring Satoshi — similar to leaving flowers at a historical monument.
In February, someone sent $200,000 to this same wallet after withdrawing from Binance.
Other past transfers include:
💸 $1.17 million (biggest ever)
💸 $67,790 (2 years ago)
💸 $41,670 (3 years ago)
Whether it's tribute or error, this wallet continues to receive Bitcoin — becoming a kind of crypto shrine.
