Two Bitcoin wallets, inactive since 2010, transferred a total of 100 BTC on November 13. The assets, which were originally mining rewards, have a combined current value of approximately $6.89 million.
The first transaction occurred at 4:08 a.m. UTC, moving 50 BTC from a wallet that had been dormant since September 2010. A second wallet with a similar history transferred another 50 BTC just over two minutes later.
The coins originated from blocks mined on September 8 and September 19, 2010. At that time, Bitcoin was valued at roughly six cents per coin, making each 50 BTC reward worth approximately $3.
The recent transfers involved splitting the funds into new addresses. Each transaction incurred a network fee of 1,110 satoshis, or about $0.75. As of Friday afternoon, the funds remained in their new locations.
This activity aligns with a broader trend of long-dormant Bitcoin wallets becoming active in 2026. Data from Galaxy Research indicates that assets untouched for over a decade are moving at an accelerated pace.
