Dormant Bitcoin Wallets Wake Up After 16 Years, Moving $6.9 Million

Share

Two Bitcoin addresses dormant since 2010 each transferred 50 BTC on Friday, November 13, for a combined value of about $6.89 million. The funds came from mining rewards worth around $3 at the time, compared with a Bitcoin price close to $68,800 when the transfers occurred. A subsequent transaction combined the coins from both wallets, suggesting coordinated control, but the owner’s identity and intentions remain unknown. The 100 BTC had not been sold or moved again as of 14:00 UTC on Friday, amid a broader revival in activity from long-dormant Bitcoin wallets.
