Bitcoin whale wallets move $61M in BTC after a decade of dormancy
The two wallets acquired a total of 1,000 Bitcoin more than 10 years ago — when BTC was worth $134 each.
Two mysterious Bitcoin (BTC) wallets holding a combined 1,000 Bitcoin — worth $61 million at current prices — have suddenly awoken after a 10-year hiatus, transferring out almost every single satoshi.
Wallet address “16vRq…qjzEa” transferred out its 500 Bitcoin at block 843,131 on May 12 at 7:10 pm UTC, while the other 500 Bitcoin was sent by address “1DUJuH…NgfC5” two blocks later, according to Blockchain.com’s Bitcoin block explorer.
The wallets each received 500 Bitcoin on Sept. 12 and Sept. 13, 2013, when Bitcoin was priced at $134, according to CoinGecko.
