Largest Transaction Fee in History: 83.65 BTC for a Single Bitcoin Transfer

November 30, 2023

A translation of 139.4 bitcoins from one wallet to another has been discovered on the network, with a transaction fee of 83.65 BTC (2 million dollars), making it the largest in history. The reward amount accounted for more than half of the initial sum. This could have happened due to inattention: when sending, the sender can edit the fee to expedite the transfer - they may have accidentally entered the wrong figure.
