Two 50-bitcoin mining rewards that had sat unspent since September 2010 moved on November 13, 2026, together worth about $6.89 million.
At 04:08 UTC on November 13, 2026, a 50 BTC coinbase output from September 19, 2010 (block 80,723) was spent for the first time, splitting into about 49.99 BTC and 0.01 BTC at newer SegWit addresses, according to mempool.space and Whale Alert. About two minutes later, at 04:10 UTC, a second 50 BTC reward mined on September 8, 2010 (block 78,671) followed, sending about 49.00 BTC and 1 BTC to two other SegWit addresses. Each transfer paid a 1,110-satoshi fee, or about $0.75, and bitcoin was trading near $68,850.
The coins were worth only about $3 per reward when they were mined, when bitcoin traded around six cents. Some of the bitcoin was later consolidated, but the owners and whether any coins were sold remain unknown. $BTC
