I'm not sure the owner actually accidentally send Bitcoin to wrong address. After all, you need to copy Satoshi's address from certain place (e.g. news or article) and exchange usually require you to double check/verify whether you actually want to perform withdraw. And when i decide to verify the actual amount, i find it's weird that currently 3 block explorer showing 3 different amount.

https://explorer.btc.com/btc/address/1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa shows 99.98853451 BTC.
https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/addresses/btc/1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa shows Bitcoin Balance 99.98849842.
https://mempool.space/address/1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa shows Balance ‎49.97855575 BTC, which probably exclude mining reward from genesis block.

We can't be too sure that this is accidental looking at how much as been sent to same address in this last years. So many people are we willing do this sometimes to show their own appreciation, or maybe to create a news.

I really find this strange. Not even sure of what to say. I am quite familiar with Blockchain explorer which gives a proper range of values, but the difference in accuracy is quite alarming and should be address, to prevent misinformation.

Wow! That is all I can say with this accidental transaction that is not surely reversible so the BTC is already considered as gone, though the transaction is now part of BTC history for many generations to ponder on. One thing for sure it would be difficult for many of us to fathom why this mistake happened - assuming that it was an accidental mistake - since am sure the sender is not anymore new to the world of cryptocurrency. This latest transfer of 0.10754671 BTC, valued at $7,211 at current price is just peanut to the previous  transfer of 26.917 BTC which is worth a staggering $1.8 million. All of these transactions can left anyone wondering what really happened there...is this intentional or something different can be behind these transactions?
