<div>'Epic sat' mined from fourth Bitcoin halving block sells for .1M</div>

Auction

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.”
