Bitcoin sats the ‘most valuable digital canvas ever’ — Ordinals artist

Bitcoin artist “Nuro” recently inscribed his 3D neurogenerative artwork on a $2 million “epic sat” from the latest Bitcoin halving.

The lead artist behind the Bitcoin art community “Nurorealm” said it was a “dream come true” to inscribe their 3D art on an “epic sat” — which he won in a recent auction.

“[The artwork is now inscribed on] one of the most valuable digital assets in existence and is the most valuable digital canvas ever,” said “Nuro” in a recent interview with Cointelegraph.

Nuro and fellow Bitcoin art community “Book of Blob” won an auction on April 25 to successfully claim the latest epic sat — the first satoshi mined in a new Bitcoin halving block — mined by ViaBTC.

‘Epic sat’ mined from fourth Bitcoin halving block sells for $2.1M

One satoshi is currently worth $0.00065 — but some sats hold inherent “collectible value” in the Bitcoin ecosystem, cryptocurrency exchange CoinEx Global explained.

An "epic sat" — an exceptionally rare satoshi that was mined from the fourth Bitcoin halving block — has sold for 33.3 Bitcoin (BTC), worth about $2.13 million.

The sale of the satoshi — the smallest unit of Bitcoin — took place on cryptocurrency exchange CoinEx Global on April 25 — roughly five days after one of its partners, Bitcoin mining pool viaBTC, mined it in block 840,000 on April 20.

The auction, which commenced on April 22, saw 34 bids before an unidentified bidder won ownership rights to the epic sat — with “sat number 1,968,750,000,000,000.”

MicroStrategy’s Saylor fuses work email address with Bitcoin Lightning

Fans of the Bitcoin bull have been transferring him 21 Satoshis as a way to test out the feature.

The Bitcoin (BTC) Lightning Network has integrated into the corporate email address of Michael Saylor, a Bitcoin bull and co-founder of business intelligence software firm MicroStrategy.

In an April 17 tweet, the former chief executive of the firm shared a screenshot with his 3 million Twitter followers of a few transactions sent to “saylor@microstrategy.com” from others in the form of Satoshis or “Sats” — the smallest denomination of Bitcoin.

MicroStrategy’s integration is enabled by the Lightning Address protocol, which allows users to link an “Internet Identifier” like an email address rather than having to copy wallet addresses or use QR codes.

It is unclear if MicroStrategy integrated the feature into all corporate emails at the firm.

The Lightning Network is a popular Bitcoin layer 2 scaling solution, which is capable of processing 1 million transactions per second (TPS) for a base fee of 1 Satoshi, or around four cents.

Saylor, who now serves as executive chairman at the firm, has been the mastermind behind MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin investment strategy that aims to strengthen the firm’s balance sheet.

MicroStrategy has spent $4.17 billion to accumulate 140,000 BTC since the company began buying in March 2021. The firm’s average purchase price is $29,800 according to data from Buy Bitcoin Worldwide.

With the price of Bitcoin currently sitting at $29,400, MicroStrategy is down a mere 1.3% on its total investment.

However, the firm was in the green again for a short period of time last week when Bitcoin broke through the $30,000 mark.

Cointelegraph contacted MicroStrategy for comment on its plans to integrate the Lightning Network in more of its corporate email addresses but did not receive an immediate response.
