Bitcoin is back in the spotlight after reports confirmed that coins untouched since 2012 have been moved for the first time.<\/p>\n
The reactivation of an old wallet came at a moment when the market is already buzzing with strong ETF inflows and record levels of stablecoin liquidity.<\/p>\n
According to Onchain Lens<\/a>, the address that first received coins on November 26, 2012, moved 132.03 BTC in a single transaction.<\/p>\n The transfer was worth about $15 million at current prices. The same wallet also sent five BTC to the Kraken exchange. After those moves, it still holds 308 BTC \u2014 a stash now valued at nearly $35 million.<\/p>\n In total, the address once controlled 444 BTC, which the report places at more than $50 million combined.<\/p>\n A dormant whale woke-up after 13 years, moved 132.03 $BTC<\/a> ($15.06M) to a new address and depositing 5 $BTC<\/a> into #Kraken<\/a>.<\/p>\n The wallet still holds 307.79 $BTC<\/a> ($35M).

The wallet\u2019s total purchase cost was only $5,435.<\/p>\n That original outlay has turned into massive gains. The current math shows a profit in the ballpark of $15.60 million on that small initial buy. Simple numbers like that help explain why stories about old wallets get attention.<\/p>\n\n Bitcoin Price And Market Momentum<\/p>\nEarly Holder Made A Tiny Bet That Paid Off<\/h2>\n
