💰 Bitcoin early miner wallets awaken, huge transfers found 15 years later!
In the world of cryptocurrency, some long-dormant wallets suddenly awaken, attracting widespread attention from the community. These Bitcoin miner wallets transferred 250 BTC today after about 15 years of silence, which is worth more than $15 million at current market prices.
On September 20, Lookonchain reported that five miner wallets received 50 Bitcoins as block rewards in 2009, and this transfer was the first asset transfer in more than a decade.
It is reported that these wallets were active at the beginning of Bitcoin, the so-called "Satoshi era".
At present, the price of Bitcoin has exceeded $63,000, which means that the Bitcoin assets of these early miners have increased by more than 100w% of the yield, while the value of Bitcoin was only a few cents at the time.
🧐 Who are the owners of these wallets?
The asset flow of these old wallets always arouses the curiosity of the cryptocurrency community. Especially those wallets that date back to the days of Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous creator of Bitcoin who communicated with the community online through forums between late 2009 and 2011.
Considering that these wallets received rewards shortly after Bitcoin was launched, they are likely to belong to individuals who participated in Bitcoin mining in the early days. Some community members even speculated that these wallets may be related to Satoshi Nakamoto himself. However, since these 5 wallets transferred funds on the same day, they are more likely to belong to one or more related parties.
💼 How many dormant wallets have not yet awakened?
According to a report by Fortune magazine, more than 1.75 million Bitcoin wallets have been dormant for more than a decade. These wallets hold a large amount of BTC that was purchased when the price was in double digits.
These dormant wallets hold a total of about 1,798,681 Bitcoins, with a total value of more than $120 billion at current prices.
In recent years, several early Bitcoin wallets have been reactivated, and some funds have been moved to new addresses or exchanges, indicating that holders may be seeking to cash out.
