Notably, the wallet address “bc1qn…ekrnl” had a previous balance of 139 BTC ($5.24 million) in a single UTXO. This address sent 55 BTC to “bc1qy…m36t4” for the cost of 83 BTC in fees. Moreover, this block collected a total reward of 91.466 BTC in block subsidy (6.25 BTC) and fees (85.216 BTC), which makes the reported mistake responsible for 90% of the total.
