I'm wondering what would occur if I accidentally transferred Bitcoin to an address that has already expired. Would the funds be lost forever, or is there a way to retrieve them?

Unlike many other forms of digital or physical assets, Bitcoin addresses do not expire. This ensures that funds sent to an address will remain there indefinitely.

Once Bitcoin is sent to an address, it cannot be retrieved or moved without the use of the corresponding private key. This private key is essential for authorizing transactions.

As long as the private key remains unused, the Bitcoin stored at the address will remain there, essentially frozen in place.
