Bitcoin Auction Results Thread!

Updated the post.

It seems like there was 3 winners.  3k, 20k, and 27k.

The 27k seems to be a syndicate that split up the coins among 4 winners.

There's reason to believe Cumberland Mining was the syndicate that one.

No news outlets have reported anything yet.

What if they only separated the coins to cause confusion among us? Well, there are no credible sources to base my claims though, and this is just a pure guess.

Plot twist, the gov sold the coins to themselves aswell as accumulating more coin in this year long bear market.  They split up the auctions to push the price down as much as possible all year.  Next up wall street.

Conspiracy haha. But it could be possible, though somewhat a little probable. Can also be the reason why there aren't enough sources to point out who really bought those coins.

Third winner.

Anyone want to do some analysis?  Not a new address.

Whats the point of the analysis until we know who the winner of that block of the auction is ?
Anyways the list of the winner should be out this week.

the list of winners may never actually be released

Much to my disappointment. I'm also thinking that they will never disclose who the winner/s was/were due to privacy reasons.

Auctions never disclose the results, no auction house ever does this.  People who expected otherwise were misinformed.

Auction really is major bullish in my opinion! It has to be over sport price, man... Don't believe that they went below market price, esp. if that one guy didn't get a single lot!

Just another random tweet, no credible source.

Auctions will almost always fetch "above market" prices because of auction fees, seller premiums, etc.

I think its a credible source.  Anyways coindesk reported the same thing 15 mins later.

Couldn't they simply have kept the coins, and auction them when the price is really high?
