A hundred Bitcoin untouched for over a decade has just moved. If a long-time HODLer sold that Bitcoin today, they’d make $5 million. Not a bad investment, considering that BitcoinBitcoin was worth a dollar in 2010.
The coins, created in June 2010, moved today at 3:15 pm UTC in two transactions to separate walletswallets. It’s unclear what’s happened to them since.
The move was picked up by Antoine Le Calvez, the self-described “Indiana Jones of the cryptosphere” who tweeted about the move today.
Some old coins moved today (100 BTC from June 2010).
It's very rare to see pre-GPU era bitcoins move, it only happened dozens of times in the past few years.
And no, it's probably not Satoshi. pic.twitter.com/0jZXnmWUes

Large moves like this spark interest because some people think that anyone who was into Bitcoin that early on knew its pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Nakamoto’s identity remains a mystery to this day.
Nakamoto created Bitcoin in late 2008, just as the financial crash took hold. In fact, signed to Bitcoin’s genesis block—the first Bitcoin block—is a reference to a message issued by the newswire Reuters: “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks."
Resurgences of old wallets are also noteworthy because, like our anonymous whale, these wallets hold a lot of money. That means these old traders, many of whom invested mere pennies in the early 2010s, can exert a significant influence over the market.
Market analysis firm Glassnode predicted in December 2020 that about 3 million Bitcoin is “lost forever.” That’s about $147 billion. But if that Bitcoin should suddenly wake up, that would send shockwaves through a market that had already priced in its loss.
About 745 Bitcoin mined since July 2010 has so far this year. Le Calvez said that’s roughly about the time when Bitcoin GPU miners started to become widespread. On Sunday, old whales moved 5 Bitcoin, and on February 9 moved another 30 BTC.
“And no, it's probably not Satoshi,” said Le Calvez.
Oklahoma’s attempt to become one of the first U.S. states to implement a Bitcoin reserve has come to an abrupt end. In a tight 6-5 vote on Monday, the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee struck down House Bill 1203, also called the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act, despite late momentum and a surprise vote reversal from Sen. Christi Gillespie. Gillespie, who had planned to vote no “up until this afternoon,” changed her mind after “a couple of constituents” reached out. "A lawmaker changed their ‘...
Bitcoin miners continue to feel the crunch, with firms in the space selling more coins than usual to make ends meet. Data firm CryptoQuant said in a Tuesday report that miners last week stepped up their selling as the price of the biggest cryptocurrency dropped below $80,000. The firm said that on April 7, miners sold a total of 15,000 BTC—the third-largest daily outflow this year. That's at least $1.12 billion worth, based on the day's low price of less than $75,000. Increased market volatil...
A rallying yen and the highest Japanese bond yields in 30 years are sending warning signals across global markets, and Bitcoin may not be spared. This week, Japan’s 30-year bond yield jumped to 2.345%, its highest level since 1994, while the yen rallied to around 153 against the U.S. dollar. Goldman Sachs analysts led by former Bank of Japan (BOJ) chief economist Akira Otani believe that the bank may be nearing a policy pivot amid the yen’s rally. If the yen strengthens further toward 130/USD, t...
