An unknown sender transferred 2.565 BTC worth $181,000 to Satoshi Nakamoto's Genesis address over the weekend, according to Arkham data.
The peculiarity of this transfer is that the funds are almost definitely unrecoverable, as there have been no outflows from Satoshi wallets since 2010, even up until now. It begs the question as to whether the transfer of such a significant amount of BTC was an honest mistake, as the sender may have accidentally copied the wrong address or an intentional one, with the owner wanting to "burn" his coins.

Recent hours have seen slight inflows into Satoshi wallets, but very minute — in the range of $2 to $54 BTC, and most likely spam transfers — but the transfer of $181,000 BTC over the weekend stands out, considering the amount.

Satoshi wallets remain untouched
Satoshi Nakamoto is believed to hold above one million BTC; according to Arkham data, the Bitcoin pseudonymous creator's BTC stash is given as 1.096 million BTC, currently worth $75.36 billion. This entire amount comes from Bitcoin mined between 2009 and 2010 and is stored across 22,000 addresses.
