Hal Finney — Recipient of the First Bitcoin Transaction (Block 170): 1 degree from Satoshi’s mining era

1Q2TWHE3GMdB6BZKafqwxXtWAWgFt5Jvm3 is 1 degree from Satoshi’s mining era: the fewest directed transaction hops from any early-mining address to this one is 1 hop (tier 1, degrees <=2). It has been connected since January 2009 and was first seen in January 2009. That places it in the top 0.0022% of scored addresses by proximity.

Dated route

1 hop from the working origin.

Each hop is a transaction in which the earlier address was an input and the later address an output. The route runs from this address back toward the origin set; the service walks at most 16 hops, so very deep chains show only their near end. Intermediate addresses are identified by degree, year and catalog label only.

The record

What was computed, and from what

Release stamp

Data release: v1.0.0-draft.2-standings.1
Methodology: 1.0.0-draft.2
Chain snapshot: through block 960,000
Built: 2026-08-08
Statistics: standings-q16-v1

Results are deterministic for a data release: the same address returns the same degree until a new release is published. Releases are versioned and documented in the methodology.

What a degree does not show

Not ownership or identity. A route through the transaction graph says nothing about who controls this address or any address on the route.
Not literal coin descent. Hops follow transaction inputs to outputs; they do not trace individual satoshis.
Not a balance. Degrees of Satoshi does not display balances, and this page carries none.
A snapshot. The result reflects the chain through the stated block height only.
