$BTC The first block in the history of Bitcoin, the "Genesis Block," indeed generated a reward of 50 BTC for its miner, Satoshi Nakamoto. But uniquely, this reward cannot be spent in the Bitcoin network.
Why? Because the technical structure of the output from the Genesis Block was not included in the current UTXO database on the blockchain, so any transaction attempting to move this BTC will always be rejected by the network.
This means that technically, Satoshi never really 'received' the 50 BTC as coins that could be used or transferred; it remains part of Bitcoin's unique history.
This fact illustrates how the early days of Bitcoin had unexpected features that have now become part of crypto legend.
