VAULT BREACH 0

CLAIMED. Vault Breach 0 closed November 1, 2026.

October 31, 2026. The 18th anniversary of the Bitcoin white paper.

On October 31, 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto published nine pages that started everything. To mark the date, one piece comes out of the Finite Vault.

The White Paper: Engraved in Brass, #17 of 21

A 6" x 6" solid brass sheet, released in 2025 and assembled by Finite by Design.

The front carries the title and abstract of Satoshi’s white paper, serial 17 of 21, the public address, and a hologram-sealed private key. The art was sealed on 10/19/2025, and its integrity is secured as long as the seal is intact.

The reverse carries the headline Satoshi embedded in the Genesis Block, The Times, 03/Jan/2009: “Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks,” set behind a gate with Buy Bitcoin.

• Edition: 21, plus one Artist Proof retained by Finite by Design
• Seal: First Bits Gen 1
• Funding: Unfunded
• Documentation: public address engraved on the piece for on-coin verification
• Display: black floating frame with stand

Serials 1-16 and 18-21 sold in the original release. #17 was held in the Finite Vault and returned at Vault price, not the original release price. Its claim completed the edition.

A note from the maker
The White Paper was engraved on brass sheet stock from Finite by Design’s early laser period. The engraving is clean, but the sheet itself carries light surface blemishes typical of this material. #17 was offered as it is, an example of early Finite laser work from the same run as the rest of the edition.

Breach terms
Opened October 31, 2026, through November 4, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET, or until claimed. Claimed November 1, 2026.
