Famous Bitcoin addresses

Addresses the public record knows: where they came from, what they hold and what the chain shows. Each one's report on satoshis.watch names the public source of its label.

Balances confirmed as of block 973,577 (28 Oct 2026). 1 address marked “Published snapshot” shows the balance from a published report of 22 Oct 2026; no block was recorded for it. Dollar values use $80,431 per bitcoin, the market price on 28 Oct 2026, from a public market feed. Each card opens the address on satoshis.watch, where the figures are live.

Following now: the Binance hack of 29 October 2026, with live status for the 18,270 BTC that left a Binance reserve address.

Satoshi era

Addresses from the first months of the chain, in the public record since 2009.

Historic transactions

Addresses on the receiving or sending end of a transaction people still talk about.

Exchange reserves

Reserve addresses the exchanges published themselves, in proof-of-reserves files or wallet lists. They hold a lot and move rarely.

Governments and seizures

Addresses law enforcement moved seized bitcoin to, as documented in court and auction records.

Treasuries and donations

Addresses governments, foundations and public organisations published themselves, for a reserve or for donations.

Common questions

How are the addresses chosen?

Addresses people look up: the first blocks, reserve addresses the exchanges published themselves, seizures documented in court records, and reserve or donation addresses organizations publicly listed. Each one names its public source; an address whose label is not sourced is not listed.

Where does each label come from?

From a public source: the owner's own published list of addresses, a court record or official announcement, press reporting, or, for the earliest addresses, the chain itself. Each address's page on satoshis.watch names its source and the date it was checked.
