First-Recorded Inscription on Trump Casascius sats
Document date: 2026-01-17T16:00:00Z
Status: Final, first-recorded designation
First inscription = minimum inscription_number under ord sat indexing among inscriptions whose sat is within the declared range.
This document records the first inscription on the exotic satoshi range derived from Bitcoin chain data and the publicly circulated (“leaked”) Bitcoin address linked to the Casascius Bitcoin physical artifact given to Donald J. Trump at Bitcoin 2024 in Nashville. The satoshi range exists as a protocol fact verifiable from blockchain data under ord sat indexing. This record documents the historical pathway by which the range became publicly identifiable and provides a reproducible methodology for independent verification. It further records a scan result confirming that no inscriptions precede inscription number 81185349 within the declared range under ord sat indexing.
The image below documents the Casascius Bitcoin given to Donald J. Trump on July 27, 2024 by David Bailey. The coin shows the firstbits prefix 1AgCVM56, a human-readable identifier that resolves to the Bitcoin address 1AgCVM56d4pfpHgJe9Nnficd3PEFr8ewaD. This physical-to-on-chain linkage enabled public identification of the satoshi range associated with the 2013 funding output.

Resolution of firstbits prefix 1AgCVM56 to the full Bitcoin address is supported by standard firstbits resolution methods and corroborated by transaction history associated with the address.
The image below documents third-party resolution of the firstbits prefix to the full Bitcoin address and is included as corroborating evidence.

Casascius physical Bitcoins are early physical representations of Bitcoin and are historically associated with early custody and public engagement with the protocol. On August 7, 2013, address 1AgCVM56d4pfpHgJe9Nnficd3PEFr8ewaD received 1 BTC in transaction 72bec59c7649d4527d8d7848ebc36840c89f5d36d18db9a91afd34d800826722. This address was associated with a 2013 Casascius 1 BTC physical Bitcoin. On July 27, 2024, at Bitcoin 2024 in Nashville, Tennessee, the coin was given to Donald J. Trump. The coin displayed firstbits prefix 1AgCVM56, and subsequent publication of images resolving that prefix to the full Bitcoin address made the associated satoshi range publicly identifiable. On October 16, 2024, the coin was opened and the funds were spent.

The now exotic satoshi range and first inscription on it are verifiable using Bitcoin chain data and the ord reference implementation with sat indexing enabled. The satoshi range for the Trump Casascius sats is derived from the output data of the original 2013 transaction moving 1 BTC into the Casascius Bitcoin. The first inscription on the Trump Casascius satoshi range is determined by scanning ord’s indexed inscriptions for the minimum inscription number whose satoshi falls within the defined range. All protocol facts can be reproduced independently by syncing a Bitcoin node, running ord with sat indexing enabled, and querying the relevant outputs and inscriptions.
To verify the satoshi range, query the original 2013 output before it was spent. The outpoint is 72bec59c7649d4527d8d7848ebc36840c89f5d36d18db9a91afd34d800826722:338. This output was spent on October 16, 2024.
Port note: the sat range commands below assume a pinned ord-server at http://127.0.0.1:18083 (height-limited to a block before the spend, with --index-sats). The inscription command assumes an ord-server at http://127.0.0.1:8083 (port is an example; use whichever ord-server you run that serves /inscription/<number>).
Requirements:

curl -fsS -H 'Accept: application/json' \ "http://127.0.0.1:18083/output/72bec59c7649d4527d8d7848ebc36840c89f5d36d18db9a91afd34d800826722:338" | \ jq '.sat_ranges'

Protocol Record: The satoshi range 215041381749581 to 215041481749580 is derived from Bitcoin chain data using the ord reference implementation with sat indexing enabled. This range corresponds to satoshis assigned to output 72bec59c7649d4527d8d7848ebc36840c89f5d36d18db9a91afd34d800826722:338 (value 1 BTC) from block height 250630 until the output was spent on October 16, 2024.
For reproducibility, the ord sat range snapshot for this outpoint is included below. If an ord index at chain tip returns sat_ranges=null for this historical output, reproduce by querying from an ord index pinned to a height prior to the 2024-10-16 spend.
The following JSON output is from the ord-server endpoint /output/<txid>:<vout> for the original 2013 1 BTC output to 1AgCVM56d4pfpHgJe9Nnficd3PEFr8ewaD.
Note: ord reports satoshi ranges as half-open intervals [start, end). The range [215041381749581, 215041481749581) corresponds to an inclusive end of 215041481749580.

# Trump Casascius sats: sat-range derivation (protocol, reproducible)
This document records the protocol methodology used to derive the satoshi range and determine the first inscription within that range under ord sat indexing. Historical narrative and external source pointers are recorded separately in the proof document’s Archived Sources section.
## Scope (protocol)
### Declaration A (range)
There exists a sat range:
- TRUMP_START = 215041381749581
- TRUMP_END_INCLUSIVE = 215041481749580
Definition:
- Trump Casascius sats are sats \(S\) such that \(TRUMP_START \le S \le TRUMP_END_INCLUSIVE\).
### Declaration B (first inscription)
The first inscription on any sat in that range (under ord sat indexing) is:
- inscription number: 81185349
- ord id: 640b86a0365e2b1e4462323c2755d587354ae6a498b7061df02938c648aa6690i0
- sat: 215041436182123
- satpoint: d3fd5ce4c593bc1a73d85a948e5ef330b39dbf3dbd6f6d3cfe0f0ba7c8fc28bd:0:0
## Preconditions (reproducible)
- A fully synced Bitcoin Core node.
- `ord` built and running with sat indexing enabled (`--index-sats` / `sat_index=true`).
- For historical outputs, you may need an ord index pinned to a height prior to the 2024-10-16 spend to obtain non-null `sat_ranges` for the outpoint.
## Step 1: Identify the on-chain reference (outpoint)
Use the funding outpoint:
- outpoint: 72bec59c7649d4527d8d7848ebc36840c89f5d36d18db9a91afd34d800826722:338
- funding block height: 250630
- value: 100,000,000 sats (1 BTC)
## Step 2: Derive sat ranges for the outpoint (ord)
Query the ord-server endpoint for the outpoint:
```
curl -fsS -H 'Accept: application/json' \
"http://127.0.0.1:18083/output/72bec59c7649d4527d8d7848ebc36840c89f5d36d18db9a91afd34d800826722:338" | \
jq '.sat_ranges'
```
Port note:
- This query assumes a pinned ord-server at `http://127.0.0.1:18083` (height-limited to a block before the 2024-10-16 spend, with `--index-sats`). If your pinned ord-server uses a different host/port, replace it here.
Interpretation:
- expected range: \([215041381749581, 215041481749581)\), which corresponds to inclusive end 215041481749580.
- this establishes the full 1 BTC satoshi interval associated with the original funding output.
## Step 3: Verify the first inscription record (ord)
Query the inscription record:
```
curl -fsS -H 'Accept: application/json' \
"http://127.0.0.1:8083/inscription/81185349" | \
jq '{number,id,sat,satpoint,height,timestamp}'
```
Confirm:
- `sat` is within \([TRUMP_START, TRUMP_END_INCLUSIVE]\).
## Step 4: Confirm “no prior inscriptions” (scan procedure)
Perform a complete scan procedure over ord’s indexed inscriptions and confirm:
- the minimum inscription number whose `sat` falls within the defined range is 81185349, and
- the scan first-hit record (hit_index=1) records this result.
The proof document’s Index Scan Confirmation section records the scan first-hit record (`trump_hits_first.jsonl`) and the corresponding SHA-256 checksum manifest (`SHA256SUMS_SCAN`).
Protocol Record: The first inscription on the Trump Casascius satoshi range is inscription number 81185349, recorded at block height 877351, timestamp 1735750795 (Unix) / 2025-01-01T16:59:55Z (UTC), on satoshi 215041436182123.
No inscriptions are recorded on any satoshi within the declared exotic range prior to inscription number 81185349 under ord sat indexing.
The following JSON snapshot records the first inscription under ord sat indexing.

A complete scan procedure over an ord inscription index for sats within the declared range produces hit_index=1 at inscription number 81185349. This document records the resulting first-hit record as evidence/trump_casascius/server_exports/trump_hits_first.jsonl with SHA-256 c002c48517b5ee90450d532a27c4c7397c625abfae1ddf54a60e9a9e1af7e59d.

Recorded interview context (summary): In an interview on the Bitcoin Takeover Podcast, David Bailey states that he gave the Casascius coin to Donald J. Trump and that it was not presented on stage due someone sneaking into the venue leading to a delay in event operations and security procedures. He further states that partial obscuring of the address on the coin contributed to later circulation of the address.
