March 10, 2024, recorded an interesting movement of 80 dormant Bitcoin (BTC) wallets which stayed inactive for over eight years. The coins sprang into action and moved 2,352.62 BTC. This movement was detected by a Bitcoin blockchain parser at btcparser.com where it was able to note down 80 transactions originating from 2015 wallets.
Looking into the details obtained, it can be seen that the first 2015 transaction of this wallet took place at a block height of 834.016 and it ended at a block height of 834,072. The creation dates of the majority of these bitcoins date back to August, September, October, November, and December of 2015.
Following the addresses of the 80 wallets, it can be seen that they are P2PKH wallets and all these funds were consolidated into Bench 32 addresses. Tracing the value of Bitcoin back to 2025, the price of a single Bitcoin was $238, in September 2015, to be exact.
The period was not the best for Bitcoin as it was navigating through the downturn which lasted for quite some time. This downturn came back after the price hike of the cryptocurrency in 2013. Looking back, at that time, the value of the hoard was calculated to be around $560,000 which is significantly less than its current value.
Taking the current value of the token into consideration, the total value of the hoarding is said to be around $163 million. Before noticing these significant transactions from 2015, another similar kind of transaction was noted, where 3,000 bitcoins were transferred for the first time last week since 2010. They were mined almost 14 years before their first transfer.
The massive surge of Bitcoin in the past few weeks and the coin reaching its all-time high have resulted in different dormant whales getting more active in recent days. Spot On Chain reported the above-mentioned cases of the Bitcoin holder who was inactive for 14 years and shocked the market by moving 1,000 BTC to Coinbase.
The tokens which currently value around $67.1 million were mined years back, in 2010. Comparing the values of BTC back then and now, it indicates a profit of almost $60 million.
This unexpected awakening from different areas has coincided with the surge of the value of Bitcoin to its all-time high in recent times to $69,000. This sudden surge was followed by a sharp downfall, reducing the value of the tool by around 14%, making its current value $59,000. This sudden downfall has created panic among traders, which goes without saying.
With reports of different ancient bitcoin whales in the market, many traders and enthusiasts see this as a sign of market turmoil which is often seen as a signal of a wave of selling or increased pressure. These trends also remind us of the events that happened earlier in the market and many believe that history is about to repeat itself here.
It also casts a shadow of doubt on the stability and bullish nature of the market. This sudden emergence of these bitcoin whales in the market has given rise to different questions regarding the potential presence of other dormant BTC holders who are still staying inactive.
Even though the crypto market had a quite humble beginning, it is currently evolving into a multi-trillion dollar industry and with each passing day, the popularity of cryptocurrency and the crypto world only seems to be increasing.
In such a delicate environment, the sudden emergence of early adopters is quite significant. This sudden appearance of ancient Bitcoin whales is also a reminder of the unpredictable forces that can disrupt and change the entire crypto landscape quite easily.
