Bitcoin Burn Addresses
This page tracks well-known Bitcoin burn addresses — addresses with no known private key, so any balance sent to them is unspendable forever. Because nobody holds the key, coins that arrive at these addresses are effectively destroyed, permanently shrinking the circulating supply.
Why are burn addresses used?
Projects burn coins to signal long-term commitment, reduce supply, or destroy tokens that can no longer be used. Many burn addresses are also vanity addresses whose text spells a message — such as 1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSendf59kuE — making the destruction both provable and public.
