SATOSHI2009DORMANT 2010-ERA WHALE12ib7d…N1dr1° FROM THE FIRST BITCOIN

This address first received Bitcoin in 2010 and has taken in roughly 52,700 BTC across more than 260 deposits. Four historic outgoing outputs totalling 21,700 BTC leave a balance of about 31,000 BTC as recorded on mempool.space on 6 August 2026. Public dormancy trackers list it among addresses with no outgoing transaction for more than ten years, while small third-party deposits continue to arrive.

What is and is not established. No attribution. Unlike most entries in this set the address has spent coins in the past, so 'dormant' here means only the absence of recent outgoing activity, taken from BitInfoCharts' ten-year dormancy list; the exact date of the last spend was not independently verified in this pass and should be confirmed before publication. Online speculation has linked this address to various named individuals and to exchange clusters; none of that is documented, so no name is attached. WalletExplorer groups it into an unnamed cluster identifier only.
