Archive: Pacific Bitcoin 2023 Whale Edition — The 1,210 Pack Supply Shock

Status: SOLD OUT / ARCHIVED

If you're seeing this page, you missed the boat—or rather, the Whale. The Pacific Bitcoin 2023 Whale Edition has officially left the building. Released to commemorate the energy of the Pacific Bitcoin conference, this collection was designed with one ethos in mind: Make Cards Rare Again.

We didn't print to demand. We printed for the history books. With a supply cap that was painfully low and a hit rate that was dangerously high, this set is now strictly confined to the personal vaults of diamond-handed collectors. Here is the official breakdown of this historic, sold-out release.

The Drop Stats

This was one of our tightest runs to date. The math was simple, but the chase was savage.

Event: Pacific Bitcoin 2023 Commemorative
Total Supply: Only 1,210 packs in existence
Box Configuration: 12 Packs per Box
Pack Configuration: 10 Cards per Pack

What Was Inside?

Every pack was a guaranteed hit. We stripped out the fluff and focused on "Bitcoin Freedom Art" and high-end mechanics.

The Base: 9 Series Two Base Cards featuring iconic culture artwork.
The Hit: 1 Limited-Edition Holo Foil Hit Card in every single pack.
The Tech: Cold foil number stamping for authentic scarcity.

The Chase: Rarity Tiers

We didn't just make them shiny; we made them mathematically scarce. Collectors hunted for 7 unique Holo Foil Hit designs, each stamped with the following rarities: /500, /250, /100, /9, and the "Only One in Existence" 1/1. With only 1,210 packs total, pulling a low-serial hit was a serious flex.

Why This Set Mattered

The Pacific Bitcoin 2023 Whale Edition captured a specific moment in the bear market building phase. It celebrated Bitcoin Freedom, featuring pieces from top-tier artists in the space.

It served as a reminder that while the price of corn fluctuates, the culture is forever. This set is now depreciated from our store and will never be reprinted.
