#FOMCMeeting Bitcoin Whales Wake Up After 10 Years—Just Before Fed's Rate Decision
Just days before the Federal Reserve’s big interest rate decision, two ancient Bitcoin wallets suddenly came to life after a decade of silence—stirring major buzz in the crypto world.
According to Spot On Chain, the first wallet moved 2,343 BTC—worth $222.2 million—after sitting untouched for 10.5 years. This wallet originally bought those coins in July 2013 for just $185,850 (around $85/BTC).
Shortly after, a second long-silent wallet moved 1,079 BTC (around $102.5 million). That stash was also bought in mid-2013 for just $91,000.
Why now? No one knows. Theories include:
Recovered wallet keys
Ownership changes
Long-term holders finally cashing out
But here's the catch:
This all happened just before the May 7 Fed meeting, where the U.S. central bank is expected to hold interest rates steady at 4.25%–4.50%, amid growing economic tension and new U.S. tariffs.
