(I will ignore fees and round up to make the numbers look nicer) The 144,341 bitcoins were split into 100,000 and 44,341. The 44,341 sits at this address: https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/address/1CaGxqCQv2ofqLf37HCUQoLujzRMaz74LK (presumably set aside for another auction). The 100,000 was split into several addresses: 52,000 9 x 5000 3000 -------------- The 52,000 was split into 2 addresses: 50,000 sits at this address: https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/address/12pCPrWvudnefJCtXQUBcm9z2NogtC3Rix (presumably set aside for another auction). 2,000 -------------- The 2,000 was split into 4 addresses: 500 sits at this address: https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/address/1CqxH3QFXyfZP8MzqGFVXckvKKHyYXCg2y500 sits at this address: https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/address/1Kj5DkLFM63GK2XzxwCndmkHotAGJWtbMG500 sits at this address: https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/address/1Pwnsg7a3c3ofFUeVRRmCj2ppfvMhpHGTD500 sits at this address: https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/address/12grzLvLPZrVCspZxZWKneH3ATFHMJMXRX-------------- 2 of the 5000 were combined: 10,000 sits at this address: https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/address/39T3BBsiKxeeu7PebckN8ueb7F84iegoZL-------------- 7 of the 5000 were combined: 35,000 sent through this address then split up: https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/address/1CvBmeNZY7wgg5fyxfNd6vJzHN6EyhrHPs-------------- 3000 sits at this address: https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/address/1MFz2bnUzPRXUZmi4JaCi9J1Gvgp883mH4Conclusion: I would say that one person won 10,000 bitcoins, a consortium won 35,000 bitcoins, one person won 3,000 bitcoins and Tim Draper won 2,000 and split it into 4 addresses. Of the consortium it looks like they are going into even larger balances so it is very unlikely that any of these bitcoins will be sold on the exchange any time soon. Update: So it appears that a Second Market syndicate was the one that got the 9 x 5000 and the one 3000 block. They won 48000 of the bitcoins and Tim Draper got 2000. http://www.coindesk.com/secondmarket-syndicate-bidders-real-winners-bitcoin-auction/

Thank you for all the fabulous details! Even if it's bad news for the value of Bitcoin, which by the way is now falling. A report?

Really interesting, so there were many buyers this time around, more chances to know the bids of someone. Strange to see Draper winning so few btcs after what he spent for the last auction, someone go explain averaging to that man. (jk)

Good work, thanks. He announced an intention to distribute 300 coin to each startup he's involved in.... so that might move again soon. Not sure if he has decided to go to 500 each from the way he split there, or that's just how he handles his coins.

Yes I know how the blockchain works, but as you told if they will not say : " I've bought this bitcoin in the fbi auction" we will never know their names.

This bitcoin will most likely end up in a big project eventually and than we can make an educated guess, who put them there. The question is, how long will that take to happen.

Maybe you're right , but I think they will use it only for speculate again.

It seems like most of the coin from this address were sent to this address: https://blockchain.info/address/3LzDzKkatQRXuQ6UxTcWQLuwuhH5nt7TJc3LZ received a total of 26,850 XBT on 12-08 from 1CV. It has a total of 47,089 as of posting, meaning it already had 20,239. Also, the 1CV account had alot of activity predating 12-08, dating back to an initial 3,000 XBT transaction in May 5 2013. The current balance of 1CV would seem to make it the 21st largest single address according to this site: http://bitcoinrichlist.com/top500So it seems to me like a large chunk of the coin were purchased by a single whale / fund / company.
