Bitcoin mined for pennies in 2010 moves after 16 years, now worth $8.5 million

Bitcoin worth $8.5 million that was mined for pennies in 2010 has moved for the first time in over 16 years.

The 100 BTC came directly from two mining rewards created during Bitcoin’s ‘Satoshi era’ and had not moved since then.

This rare transaction highlights the significant increase in Bitcoin's value over the years and the potential long-term benefits of holding the cryptocurrency.
