Sleeping Bitcoin Giant Moves 500 BTC Worth $41M After 10 Years of Silence

On Tuesday, as bitcoin’s price cruised comfortably above $82,000, a long-dormant wallet established on Jan. 1, 2016, stirred from its decade-long slumber, transferring 500 BTC for the first time in more than 10 years. The haul joins other recently moved coins that had long sat untouched, bringing the month’s tally to 1,745.615 BTC worth more than $143 million. As of Tuesday, data compiled by btcparser.com , which monitors the reawakening of long-dormant bitcoin wallets across the Bitcoin blockchain, reveals that 23 old-school wallets have emerged from hibernation so far in Oct. 2026.
