Data: A Bitcoin wallet from the "Satoshi Nakamoto era" that has been dormant for 15 years suddenly became active, transferring $16 million in assets

ChainCatcher news, according to Coindesk, multiple Bitcoin wallets from the "Satoshi era" have suddenly become active after 15 years of dormancy. On-chain data shows that over 250 Bitcoins (approximately $16 million) were transferred in the morning European time, completed in five transactions, with each transfer consisting of 50 Bitcoins to a new wallet. These Bitcoins originated from block rewards in early 2009 and had never been active before.

It is currently unclear whether these wallets belong to the same person or entity, and as of the time of publication, the new wallet has not transferred funds to an exchange. Notably, similar large-scale transfers of "Satoshi era" Bitcoins also occurred last July and December, with over 1,000 Bitcoins transferred to exchanges in December, which may have been sold.
