Are Aliens Buying Bitcoin?

‍

The City of Roswell, New Mexico, has been linked with aliens since a famous UFO crash in 1947. At the time, the US Army Air Force announced the possession of a “flying disc,” believed by many to be an alien spacecraft. 

Decades later, the legendary town, home to 48,000 people, is back in the headlines for buying Bitcoin. Could the two stories be related?

According to data from Arkham Intel, the City of Roswell has a small but noteworthy Bitcoin stack of over $13K BTC.

The approximately 0.173 BTC stack was received as donations last year and has been sitting securely on-chain in a single address ever since. While we can't explicitly confirm if the senders were of extraterrestrial origin, the discovery adds a cypherpunk chapter to the town's storied sci-fi history.

The town's deep-rooted association with extraterrestrials dates back to July 1947, when a local rancher discovered strange, metallic debris scattered across his property. The local Roswell Army Air Field initially issued a press release announcing the capture of a “flying disc.” The military rapidly retracted the statement the next day, insisting the wreckage was merely a crashed weather balloon. But the incident ignited decades of conspiracy theories involving government cover-ups, recovered alien bodies, and reverse-engineered technology.

79 years later, the City of Roswell has revealed its Bitcoin stack to the world. Now, anyone with access to a blockchain explorer (like Arkham Intel) can keep track of what the local government/aliens are doing with their digital assets.

Has the first extraterrestrial BTC stash been found?
