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.

I can’t not understate how important this auction is for Bitcoin’s ordinal economy. The ‘Epic Sat’ is the first sat of the halvening block, and there will only ever be 32 of them. The first 3 Epic Sats are lost, so this will be the first time an Epic Sat is sold. https://t.co/mniS3CYYC7
