From $6 to $6.9 million: two Bitcoin wallets awaken after 16 years

Share

Two Bitcoin addresses dormant since September 2010 moved a total of 100 BTC on Friday, two minutes apart, funds received as mining rewards worth roughly $6 at the time. Valued at nearly $6.9 million today, the bitcoins were redistributed to several SegWit addresses, with part of them consolidated into a single address, suggesting one anonymous owner. A transfer does not necessarily mean a sale. These batches date back to the early days of the network, when Bitcoin was less than a year old and the mining reward per block was 50 BTC. The movement follows a series of transfers of long-dormant coins, including 250 BTC moved in July 2025 and 500 BTC sent on October 20 from an address linked to Clifton Collins.
