Satoshi Nakamoto’s Last Known Mined Bitcoin Block Uncovered

Main Idea

Blockchain analytics platform Whale Alert identified Bitcoin block 54,316 as the last known block mined by Satoshi Nakamoto, who was active until around that time, though it's unlikely he mined the blocks himself.

Key Points

1. Whale Alert reported that Satoshi Nakamoto remained active until Bitcoin block 54,316, mining approximately 1,125,150 BTC up to that block.

2. Two dormant addresses, each containing 50 BTC, were activated after 15.3 years, but it is unlikely Satoshi mined these blocks.

3. Early mining patterns suggest Satoshi maintained an average of 0.6 blocks per hour between block heights 2,000 and 16,000 to mitigate 51% attack risks.

4. Satoshi's last known communication was on April 23, 2011, to Bitcoin developers, marking the end of his known activity.

Description

Satoshi stated he had moved on to other things in last known communication in 2011
