Sleeping Bitcoin wallet stirs after 11 years, moving over $30M
The anonymous Bitcoin whale is up over 600,000% from their 2011 purchase of BTC at $4.92. A dormant Bitcoin (BTC) wallet holding over 1,037 Bitcoin — worth $31 million at current prices — has suddenly awoken after an 11-year slumber, transferring out its entire stash. The 1037 BTC was transferred amid a Bitcoin price of $29,956 and took effect at block height 799701 — approximately 10:51 am UTC on July 22, according to BitInfoCharts. The long-dormant address obtained the 1,037 BTC on April 11, 2012, when BTC's price was only $4.92, on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain stated on July 22. This means at the time, the stash was only worth around $5,108. A BTC whale that has been dormant for 11 years transferred all 1,037.42 $BTC($37.8M) to a new address"bc1qtl" an hour ago. The whale received 1,037.42 $BTC($5,107 at that time) on Apr 11, 2012, when the price was $4.92.https://t.co/k8ZmO5vc8X pic.twitter.com/xBaw2dQfY8 — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) July 22, 2023 Data...
