#World Cup Predictions: 100,000 USDT Daily #HTX Invites You to Share 600K USDT in Gift Packs #TradFi Trading Strategies Sharing Challenge Key Hunters Eye $58.87M Bitcoin Puzzle as 916 BTC Sits Unsolved in 78 Addresses A Challenge Built Over a Decade The puzzle did not begin as the massive bounty system it is today. Its earliest verified onchain origin is a Jan. 15, 2015, transaction that funded 256 outputs with rewards scaling from 0.001 $BTC to 0.256 $BTC, totaling 32.896 $BTC. A Bitcointalk thread opened Dec. 28, 2015, under the title “ Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 $BTC prize to who solves it” marked the first major public discussion of the challenge. A simulated flow chart using mempool.space visuals of the original Bitcoin Puzzle Challenge transfer that occurred on Jan. 15, 2015. The entire batch payment was confirmed at block height 339085. The structure changed materially in 2017 when funds from addresses 161 through 256 were moved into the lower-range addresses, consolidating the challenge to 160 active puzzles. In 2019, the creator sent small outgoing transactions from every fifth address in a sequence that included 65, 70, 75, 80, and up through 160. Those partial spends revealed public keys onchain for those outputs, a detail that later proved significant for how solvers could approach those specific puzzles. The bounty reached its modern scale in April 2023, when prizes across unsolved puzzles were increased by roughly 10 times. Puzzle 66 rose to 6.6 $BTC. Puzzle 160 reached 16 $BTC. Current trackers report an aggregate reward of approximately 989.04 $BTC. Where the Frontier Stands Now As of mid-June 2026, community trackers show 82 of the 160 puzzles solved and 78 remaining. With bitcoin trading around $64,232, the unsolved pool carries a spot value near $58.87 million
