⚡️🚨 NEW - Someone claimed a Casascius 100 BTC coin, which had remained untouched since 2012.

He had originally bought it in 2012 for around $500.

Its value now exceeds $10 million, a return on investment of x20,000.

He tells his story on BitcoinTalk:

"Well, remember when I said I had one of those Bitcoin Casascius bars? Yes, it's a 100 BTC bar, and I bought it in 2012 for about $500.

When Bitcoin went over $10,000 a few years ago, I started to get really nervous. I mean, keeping something worth over a million dollars? That's a lot of pressure.

I didn't want to claim it, though. To me, a physical Bitcoin that hasn't been claimed is worth more than its money.

I've tried to sell it a few times, but it's hard to sell something that valuable, and you really can't trust just anyone. I even considered an auction, but I would have gotten less than the value of the Bitcoin itself.

Now that he's worth over $10 million, I knew I couldn't keep him. So, yes... even though I was a little hesitant, I finally claimed him today."
