What is and is not established. No attribution. The 2009 first-deposit date reported by BitInfoCharts would make this one of the earliest surviving large addresses and was NOT independently confirmed in this pass — treat the era as provisional and verify against a full transaction history before publishing the date. The address string, the ~8,000 BTC received and the zero spent-output count were confirmed on mempool.space on 6 August 2026. The large number of small deposits suggests long-running consolidation rather than a single early payment.
