Genesis Block Coinbase (Satoshi Nakamoto)
The 50 BTC subsidy from Bitcoin's genesis block. The original coinbase UTXO is structurally unspendable across most Bitcoin Core code paths because the genesis transaction is hard-coded as a special case. The address has received many subsequent donations over the years but has never spent a satoshi.
