🐋🤑 2011 Ghost Wallets Awaken, Move $23M in Bitcoin
🤯 With Bitcoin still above the $100,000 mark but slipping since reaching its all-time high, four vintage wallets from 2011 came to life this week, moving 221.99 BTC—valued at over $23 million—for the first time in nearly 14 years.
Each of those 2011 coins ended up being channeled to another P2PKH address, ultimately flowing into the legacy wallet labeled “1AdsC,” which now holds 279.96 BTC valued at $29.3 million. The tracker btcparser.com noted the batch of four 2011 wallets (1, 2, 3, 4)—one of which started with a transfer of 64 BTC in block 898916.
The second followed right after, pushing 68 BTC in the next block, while a third address moved 60 BTC in block 898919.
Before these 221.99 coins were sent, another group of 2011-era wallets had already been activated in early May (1, 2, 3, 4). One moved 10 BTC on May 2, followed by another on May 16 that sent 10.673 BTC in two transactions in blocks 896906 and 896909.
Then, on May 23, a 2011 wallet withdrew another 20 BTC in block 898040. With these transfers included, inactive 2011 BTC wallets have now dispatched 262.663 BTC just this month.
