Today is the final day of the auction for the First Edition of the History of #Bitcoin. Encased in 5,000 year old fossilised oak and crowned with a one of one silver emblem crafted by Asprey Studio, it is the only edition of its kind and the highest expression of Bitcoin’s cultural record. The current bid stands at 14 million sats.

Proceeds from this First Edition directly support My First Bitcoin’s free education programs, helping preserve Bitcoin’s history while empowering the next generation to build its future.

The First Edition is presented in a handcrafted case made from ancient fossilised black oak, England’s rarest native hardwood. Shaped over six months by a master craftsman with more than thirty five years of experience, the case reflects permanence, precision, and traditional artistry. An innovative dual sided opening mechanism completes the design, creating an unboxing experience as considered as the work it protects.

The bound volume is crowned with a one of one silver Bitcoin emblem created by #AspreyStudio in Mayfair, London. Asprey is known for its mastery of silversmithing, precision metalwork and heritage craftsmanship. Their work is sought after by collectors worldwide for its blend of tradition and innovation.

Inside the book are 128 archival quality artworks created by world leading artists, printed on fine art papers selected to last for generations. Each page is enhanced with specialty processes including metallic foils, UV varnish, mirror papers, embossing and custom inks. Seamless layflat binding allows each artwork to span the full spread without interruption.

The book itself is cased in premium bull leather, dyed in Bitcoin’s signature orange. It was chosen for its durability and natural character, embodying both the strength and symbolism of the Bitcoin bull.

A defining feature of the edition is the inclusion of the complete Bitcoin source code, with each book in the series containing a unique fragment. Together, collectors form a network that mirrors Bitcoin’s distributed structure. The First Edition contains the very first fragment.

The book is accompanied by Revelations, a pocket sized companion that connects every artwork to its historical moment, drawing on first hand accounts from more than one hundred early Bitcoiners. The art captures each moment. Revelations anchors it in documented history.

More than three hundred people contributed to this project over four and a half years. Whoever wins this auction becomes the custodian of a singular cultural artefact while directly funding Bitcoin education for future generations.

The auction ends today.
