2011 Casascius coin with 25 BTC unlocked amid selloff

2026년 06월 04일

A physical Bitcoin from 2011 holding 25 BTC was redeemed this week, converting the collectible into spendable cryptocurrency. The move occurred as Bitcoin traded near $63,000 during a broader market decline.

Galaxy Research identified the item as an S1-COIN-25 Casascius physical Bitcoin. The original address received its 25 BTC output in block 156,413 on Dec. 7, 2011. The first spend took place on June 3 at block 952,159. That transaction spent 25.00002187 BTC from the address and returned 24.98998 BTC after fees. A second transaction on June 4 at block 952,267 moved 24.98996629 BTC to the SegWit address bc1qn5snfwq447vge9ynnz66xqm9kpam9eu34z52dk. The watched address now holds no balance. The on-chain record shows a transfer to another Bitcoin address without evidence of an exchange deposit or confirmed sale. At recent prices the 25 BTC was valued near $1.58 million.

A 2011 Casascius Bitcoin holding 25 BTC was just redeemed after sitting untouched for 15+ years.

Back then: worth under $100.
Today: worth ~$1.78M.
A reminder of Bitcoin’s incredible long-term growth and the shrinking supply of unopened Casascius coins. 🚀#Bitcoin #BTC #Crypto… pic.twitter.com/LGcSzgTEyn

A 2011 Casascius coin holding 25 BTC just became active! Once a physical artifact, it now seamlessly joins the digital realm. Why it matters: Old coins moving during market selloffs can signal shifts in liquidity. #BitcoinHistory
