- Casascius Bitcoin Peels: $10M Cashed in 2023, Yet a null Billion Stash Remains Unclaimed
**While bitcoin (BTC) is already a limited asset, Mike Caldwell’s Casascius physical bitcoins take rarity to a whole new level. Between 2011 and 2013, he endowed over 27,000 coins and bars with nearly 100,000 BTC. As we step into September 2023, a limited supply of 19,082 Casascius physical bitcoins remain in circulation, with around 41,280 BTC yet to be claimed.**
Just Over 19,000 Casascius Physical Bitcoins Remain Unpeeled
In the first eight months of 2023, approximately 162 physical bitcoins designed by Mike Caldwell were cashed in or peeled. These coins represented a total of 386 BTC, translating to near $10 million based on the current BTC exchange rates.
Debuting in 2011, Caldwell’s Casascius physical bitcoins, available in both coins and bars, ranged in denominations of 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 25, 100, and 1,000 BTC.
Yet, by 2013, Caldwell faced a hurdle. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), an arm of the Treasury Department, told him that producing these physical bitcoins classified him as a money transmitter, prompting him to halt his operations.
Despite the interruption, Caldwell had already minted an impressive 27,928 coins, with a cumulative load of 91,213 BTC. To date, nearly 50,000 BTC, precisely 49,984 BTC, have been claimed from 8,856 of Caldwell’s meticulously crafted coins and bars.

- Lightning Network Sees Sharp 14% Decline in Capacity After Hitting Peak
**Data reveals that the Lightning Network’s capacity, or the total value of open channels, has dwindled by over 14% since July 9, 2023. Following a peak of 5,468 BTC, an estimated 786 BTC valued at $20.32 million has been withdrawn from the secondary network.**
From Peak to Plunge: Lightning Network’s Capacity Drops by Over $20M in Just Two Months
The Lightning Network (LN) serves as a second-layer (L2) scaling solution designed to render bitcoin (BTC) transactions more cost-effective and expedited. In lieu of registering every transaction on the Bitcoin blockchain, LN users establish a mutual “channel” for transaction purposes. Only the opening and closing balances of channels are documented on the blockchain. This year marked an all-time high for LN capacity or the total value locked (TVL) in open channels.
The LN capacity hit 5,468 BTC on July 6, 2023. Nonetheless, subsequent to this milestone, a substantial amount of BTC was removed in one of the largest declines since tracking began in January 2018. Around 786 BTC equating to $20.32 million exited the LN from July 9 onwards, dipping below the 5K BTC threshold after July 10. The existing capacity of 4,682 BTC within the Lightning Network is presently valued at $121 million.
