In this way, 50 BTCs were transferred from 20 different wallets to different addresses. As it is known, until the block reward halving in 2012, the amount of reward miners received per block in Bitcoin was 50 BTC. In 2012, this award fell to 25 BTC.

This Bitcoin miner, whose identity is unknown, also owned the same amount of BTC, different cryptocurrencies Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold created by forking from Bitcoin in 2017 and later.
