Someone moved over $11 million worth of Bitcoin that has sat idle in wallets since it was mined in 2010.
The 1,000 Bitcoin—today worth $11,425,000—moved to one address. The move was flagged by Kirill K, a professional cryptocurrency trader, on LinkedIn.
The Bitcoin was mined back in September 2010, when Bitcoin was less than two years old and worth less than 10 cents per coin. Back then, the cryptocurrency was virtually unheard of and very cheap to mine—all the Bitcoin moved today was worth less than $100 in 2010.
The mysterious holder of the “Satoshi era” coins would make an insane lottery-like profit if they sold the coins today.
“Satoshi era” Bitcoin refers to coins mined when Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, was still communicating with the crypto world. Nobody's heard from Nakamoto since 2010 and his identity is still a complete mystery. Some believe—perhaps falsely—that whoever moved the coins must have been part of Nakamoto's inner circle.
Someone just moved 50 Satoshi-era Bitcoins, today worth $527,120, to the hot wallet of cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex. The 50 Bitcoin was mined back in May 2010, when Bitcoin was around one-and-a-half years old. The owner has held onto those coins ever since and waited until last night to move them to the cryptocurrency exchange. The move was picked up by BTCparser, a Telegram bot that trawls through Bitcoin transactions. If the owner of those 50 Bitcoins sold the entire stash on Bitfinex, t...
But why would someone move this Bitcoin now? Head of quant strategy at crypto firm Ikigai Asset Management, Hans Hauge, wrote on LinkedIn that “old miners have to be careful about how they move so as to not spook the market.”
But he added that $11 million wouldn’t really “move the needle much in either direction” when billions of Bitcoin shuffle around wallets each day.

Meme coins are down bad. Dogecoin (DOGE) is down 60% from its 2024 high, Pepe (PEPE) has dropped 73% from its all-time high, and Dogwifhat (WIF) has plummeted 88% from its peak. Not only that but the trenches are drying up too. Popular launchpad and cultural hub Pump.fun launched 64.6% less tokens on Wednesday than it did during its high achieved in January. Alongside this, according to Dune data, the weekly graduation rate of tokens is the lowest it's been since July 2024—a token graduates when...
Comedian William Banks went viral after posting a video of what he claims showed him escaping prison on social media, shortly before he went on a spree of “rug pulling” Solana meme coins. Banks told Decrypt his goal was to be a Robinhood-like “hero” and donate $50,000 of the proceeds to charities supporting those suffering in Palestine following Israel's attacks on Gaza—sharing purported receipts of these payments on X. In October, the comedian was charged and arrested in Westport, Connecticut...
Hacking group Crazy Evil created a fake Web3 company dubbed "ChainSeeker.io" to trick crypto industry job seekers into downloading wallet-draining malware. The group set up LinkedIn and X profiles advertising standard crypto industry jobs, like “Blockchain Analyst” or “Social Media Manager,” according to cybersecurity website Bleeping Computer. The Russian-speaking group, known as Crazy Evil, also took out premium advertisements on websites like LinkedIn, WellFound, and CryptoJobsList to boost...
