Otro año más ha transcurrido desde la creación del bloque génesis de Bitcoin, y es curioso como la dirección génesis de dicho bloque, 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa, sigue recibiendo TXs a modo de donación por admiración (entiendo que debe ser algo así).
En la actualidad, la citada dirección cuenta con:
3.629 TXs (+14,5% respecto del año precedente)
68,56979601 BTCs recibidos (+0,06% respecto del año precedente)

Ya vamos por el decimoquinto aniversario del primer bloque de la Bitcoin blockchain …En la actualidad, la citada dirección cuenta con:
3.629 TXs (+14,5% respecto del año precedente)
68,56979601 BTCs recibidos (+0,06% respecto del año precedente)

Comparando los datos de las ofrendas a la dirección de recompensa del bloque génesis, éste tiene ahora:
6.577 TXs
99,67808473 BTCs recibidos
Entiendo que en el balance están agregados los 50 BTC de recompensa del bloque, los cuales realmente no son reclamables según se recoge aquí:

Block reward
The first 50 BTC block reward went to address 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa,[1] though this reward can't be spent due to a quirk in the way that the genesis block is expressed in the code. It is not known if this was done intentionally or accidentally.[4][5][6] It is believed that other outputs sent to this address are spendable, but it is unknown if Satoshi Nakamoto has the private key for this particular address, if one existed at all.

De hecho, la TX asociada a la recompensa del bloque génesis figura como no confirmada:

One of the biggest curiosities of the Bitcoin blockchain is that the said block was never confirmed on the blockchain — something that has puzzled many blockchain scientists and developers.
One theory is that this occurred because the first-ever coinbase transaction was encoded in the genesis block’s source code. And because the entire blockchain is built on this genesis block, the concept of confirmation was not applied to it.
Another theory suggests that Nakamoto designed it this way since, if the genesis block were to get unconfirmed for any reason, it would cause a new blockchain to be built, making the original blockchain obsolete.

Algunos exploradores recogen este hecho:

aunque otros exploradores la marcan como confirmada como Blockchair (supongo que no han programado la excepción, o asumen que lo está implícitamente):

Edit:
Alguien envió el otro día 26,91679286 BTCs a la dirección génesis. Casi nada (equivale a más de 1M $)...
