Payment

Prior to the auction, the FBI transferred 144,341.52494935 BTC to the US Marshals in one output of 100,000 BTC[4] and the rest in another output.[5] The reason for including two separate outputs rather than just one is not apparent. After the auction, the coins from output A were broken into nine outputs of approximately 5,000 BTC each, an output of 3,000 BTC, and an output of 52,000 BTC.[6] The coins from the smaller output B currently reside in an output for the address 1CaGxqCQv2ofqLf37HCUQoLujzRMaz74LK,[7] likely reserved for a future auction. The journey made by the coins from the original address to their current destinations have left a trail of 0.05 BTC outputs to test the addresses before sending large amounts.
