Five Bitcoin miner wallets that had been dormant since 2010 transferred approximately $29.6 million (around 250 BTC) to two new addresses between mid-June and late July 2025.
These wallets were originally granted 50 Bitcoins as rewards for mining during the early days of Bitcoin, a time when the digital asset held little value in the market. This recent movement has sparked significant interest in the cryptocurrency space, as it is quite rare for aged wallets to become active again.
According to blockchain data, the addresses were first credited on April 26, 2010, when the value of Bitcoin was just a few cents. The reactivation is being closely monitored by the analysts, who define it as either strategic consolidation or a change in the way these are operated. Others claim that the transfers indicate an increased hope concerning the future of Bitcoin, whereas others hold that the action is just a standard action of asset shifting.
