A historic Bitcoin fragment has just changed hands. On January 23, a rare Alpha sat from block 78<\/strong> sold on Magic Eden for 0.12 BTC, or around $12,400.<\/p>\n

\"rare<\/p>\n

An Alpha Sat<\/strong> corresponds to the first satoshi of a Bitcoin. Block 78, mined on January 11, 2009, produced 50 bitcoins, and therefore 50 unique Alpha Sats from this block.<\/p>\n

Today, only 11 Alpha Sats from Block 78 have been found<\/strong> and isolated by collectors. These satoshis are therefore extremely rare. Their value is all the greater in that the Alpha Sats of Block 9 have been definitively lost. Block 78 Alpha Sats are therefore the oldest in circulation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

By November 2024, two Alpha Sats from Block 78 had already been sold for 0.17 and 0.20 BTC, or around $17,000 and $20,000. A trend that confirms the growing interest of collectors in these unique fragments of Bitcoin history.<\/p>\n

\"rare<\/p>\n

At Symbole Art, we had the opportunity toacquire two Alpha Sats from Block 78<\/a> for our collector customers. A strategic investment that has rapidly gained in value, demonstrating the importance of expert selection in the niche Bitcoin Ordinals market.<\/p>\n
