[Six Bitcoin Wallets Dormant for Over a Decade Transferred $40.15 Million Worth of BTC in the Past Ten Days]
According to a report by Jinse Finance on August 27, Galaxy Research monitoring shows that between August 16 and 26, six Bitcoin wallets that had remained inactive since 2011, 2012, or 2014 were reactivated, cumulatively transferring 553.59 BTC, with a total value of approximately $40.15 million based on the price at the time of transfer. Among them, the largest single transaction came from a wallet dormant for 14 years, transferring 212 BTC worth about $13.66 million. Another wallet, inactive since 2014, transferred 150 BTC valued at $11.75 million. Additionally, three wallets from 2011 collectively transferred 132.31 BTC, worth $10.37 million. The most recent transaction involved a wallet dormant for 14.2 years transferring 40 BTC, valued at approximately $3.14 million, with the funds moving to the German crypto custody bank Boerse Stuttgart Digital.
Based on an initial cost of around $5, the potential return on these BTC is approximately 1,535,911%. The receiving addresses for the other five transactions have not been identified as belonging to exchanges, so it is currently unclear whether the holders intend to sell. Two of the six wallets are labeled as "Salomon Client Dusted," linked to a lawsuit in New York State attempting to classify 39,069 dormant Bitcoin addresses as unclaimed property. While hardware wallet security incidents may prompt long-term holders to move funds, neither this nor the lawsuit explains the activity of the remaining four wallets.
