Satoshi era bitcoin wallets dormant since 2009, have moved 250 BTC to new wallet addresses The five wallets transferred BTC in batches of 50 coins each Bitcoin price traded around $63,500, having touched highs above $64,000 across major exchanges

Several Bitcoin (BTC) miner wallets dormant for over 15 years have moved 250 BTC worth over $15 million.

The so-called ‘Satoshi era’ wallets are miner addresses created in the years that Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto actively mined BTC. These wallets date back to 2009 – five of which transferred 50 Bitcoin each to new addresses.

On-chain transactions tracker Whale Alert highlighted the five 50 BTC wallet movements. In total, five wallets had transferred coins worth $15.9 million to new wallets.

Lookonchain shared a screenshot of Whale Alert’s posts about the dormant coins. In this case, each of the miner addresses received Bitcoin as mining rewards in 2009. Not one of these wallets transacted since that first transaction.

Notably, none of the new wallets had moved the coins to a crypto exchange as of writing.

In March 2024, a Bitcoin wallet dormant for over 12 years, woke up to move 500 BTC. Another wallet dormant for over 10 years, was activated in April 2023.

Bitcoin’s price

The movement by these ‘Satoshi era’ BTC wallets come as Bitcoin’s price recovered to above $64,000 amid market reaction to this week’s US Federal Reserve interest rate cut. The bench market cryptocurrency has over the past few months struggled to break higher – with a major dip to below $50k seen on August 5, 2024.

Commenting on the price outlook, crypto analyst Ali Martinez says its likely traders may want to take profits at current prices.

Nevada shuts down Fortress Trust: Who holds your keys during custody consolidation?

Nevada regulators shut down Fortress Trust on Oct. 22, citing insolvency that left the custodian holding roughly $200,000 in cash against $8 million owed in fiat and $4 million in crypto. The cease-and-desist order marked the second major Nevada trust-company collapse in two years, following Prime Trust’s entry into receivership in June 2023.
