Dormant Bitcoin Wallets Continue to Come Alive: Another 770 BTC Moved in 6 Mysterious Transfers
Bitcoin’s early adopters are stirring again—this time, moving 770 BTC valued at just over $90 million. The dormant stash was split into six separate transfers over the last two days, marking the first activity from these vintage wallets in years.
6 Transfers, Zero Shockwaves: Sleeping Bitcoin Awakenings Barely Moves Market Price
Bitcoin’s deep-pocketed old-timers aren’t done yet. Just days after Bitcoin.com News highlighted a major awakening analysis—101,003 long-dormant BTC moving in 2025—another 471.8678 BTC quietly left cold storage. Now, the trend continues with six more transfers totaling 770.05895253 BTC on July 28 and 29, according to btcparser.com stats.
The biggest of the bunch came from a wallet born on March 27, 2013, when bitcoin closed the day at just $83.42. That stash—originally worth $28,618.38—moved 343.00105824 BTC, equal to $40.38 million using exchange rates at 11 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday. After this hefty send at block heights 907601 and 907637, two 2016 wallets sprang to life, each making a separate move—20 BTC and 25 BTC, respectively.
One was set up on May 29, 2013, and it moved 20 BTC. The other, created on June 17 that same year, transferred 25 BTC. Next up, likely the same entity behind the 343 BTC transfer at block height 907594 appeared again—at block 907670, when it sent out another 330 BTC. This wallet, like the first, dates back to late March 2013, specifically the 24th of that month. Five blocks later, a long-silent wallet from May 27, 2017, came to life, sending 22.36 BTC.
Tuesday also brought another rare appearance from the early days—a vintage 2011 wallet moved coins for the first time in nearly 14 years. Originally created on Aug. 28, 2011, the legacy Pay-to-Public-Key-Hash (P2PKH) address transferred 29.69 BTC, valued at $3.4 million. The P2PKH address still holds 37.629 BTC, worth $4.4 million. Despite the flurry of activity from old wallets, bitcoin’s price has held steady—even after 80,000 BTC reportedly hit the open market.
