Bitcoin Genesis Block Mined by Satoshi 17 Years Ago as Coinbase Marks Milestone on January 3
On Jan. 3, 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto mined the Bitcoin genesis block, officially launching the network as open‑source software. Seventeen years later, the community marked the anniversary, with Coinbase sharing a hash‑themed post and birthday message. Bitcoin has since become a trillion‑dollar asset, with spot ETFs recently registering hundreds of millions in net inflows and the BTC price holding above $90,000.
