The Bitcoin network once saw an anomalous transaction involving more than 184 billion BTC.

On August 15, 2010, an integer overflow vulnerability in the code allowed someone to create an enormous amount of Bitcoin out of thin air.

At the time, the total supply of Bitcoin was capped at just 21 million coins.

Developers urgently fixed the vulnerability, and the network later reversed the anomalous transaction through a chain reorganization.

In other words, Bitcoin really did experience a serious inflation incident in its history!$BTC
