Overview
- Timechain Index founder Sani publicly flagged two Casascius items as moving on December 5–6 after more than a decade of inactivity.
- NewsBTC, citing on-chain data, reports the pieces were two 1,000 BTC coins unlocking more than $179 million at recent prices.
- Crypto Briefing, attributing Sani, reports the coins contained roughly $2,000 in BTC, highlighting a sharp discrepancy in valuations.
- Casascius pieces hide private keys under tamper-evident holograms, and once the key is used, collectors regard the physical item as no longer loaded.
- Records note only 16 of the 1,000 BTC bars and 6 of the 1,000 BTC coins were ever produced, and the movements were observed during heightened market volatility and large liquidation imbalances reported by CoinGlass.
