Galaxy Research, the research unit of crypto investment firm Galaxy Digital, has detected a mysterious poem appearing repeatedly on the Bitcoin blockchain over the past two weeks. An unknown user recorded 26 identical copies of the text in 103-byte OP_RETURN outputs, exceeding Bitcoin’s previous default relay limit of 83 bytes. The same cryptographic keys were also used to submit two additional poems, bringing the total to 28 messages in 12 days. Galaxy Research considers it unlikely that the activity is related to traditional money laundering and has proposed several possibilities, including an integration test, manipulation of deposit metrics, or activity by an autonomous agent given access to a Bitcoin wallet. The sender’s identity and the exact purpose of the transactions remain unknown, while the identified mining fees amount to only 8,015 satoshis.
