The 'Epic Sat,' a significant Bitcoin unit from the halving block mined by ViaBTC, was auctioned and sold for 33.3 BTC, approximately $2.1 million. This sale marks the first time an Epic Sat has been sold, as the first three are lost. The auction began with a starting bid of 1 BTC, and there are only 32 Epic Sats, making them a rare component of Bitcoin's ordinal economy. The next Epic Sat is expected to be mined in four years, highlighting their scarcity and value. Another source reported the final sale price as 34.3 BTC.
