ViaBTC's 'Epic Sat' Sells for $2.13 Million Following Bitcoin's Fourth Halving

The sale of a rare satoshi from the first block mined after Bitcoin's latest halving garners significant attention and a record price.

An 'epic sat' sold for 33.3 BTC, equivalent to $2.13 million, auctioned by ViaBTC on the CoinEx Global platform.
This rare satoshi, mined from the 840,000th block, marks a significant milestone in Bitcoin's history, being one of only four such sats ever mined.
The satoshi's rarity is enhanced by the Ordinals protocol, which assigns unique identifiers to individual satoshis, making them collectible.
The auction highlighted the community's recognition and the widespread embrace of Bitcoin, drawing media attention and public interest.
The next Bitcoin halving is scheduled for around April 17, 2028, which will introduce another 'epic sat' with potentially high value.
