Reports claimed that a single, undisclosed bidder bought all of the bitcoins sold in the auction. The cache is valued at more than $19 million.
Bitcoin is digital cash and is not backed by a government or central bank to regulate or issue it. It can be used to purchase goods and services from stores and online retailers.
