Dormant 2013 Bitcoin Wallet Moves $34 Million After 13 Years

An early Bitcoin holder has moved approximately 411.45 BTC from a wallet associated with 2013, attracting fresh attention as traders monitor old coins returning to activity.

The wallet’s original activity dates to a period when Bitcoin traded near $131. On that basis, the stash would have cost about $54,000 at the time, although the original owner’s actual acquisition price and history are not independently established merely by a blockchain address. The contrast helps explain why movements from that era attract such interest. Long-dormant coins can stir the market for several reasons.
