TREE NEWS reports: Two Bitcoin mining rewards from September 2010 were moved minutes apart, transferring coins now worth $6.9 million. The wallets had been dormant for 16 years, and the coins are worth nearly 1.15 million times their original market value.
Dormant Bitcoin Wallets From 2010 Move $6.9 Million
The signal here is age, not size: $6.9 million is trivial next to daily bitcoin volume, but coins mined in 2010 and untouched for 16 years sit in a category the market treats as effectively lost or held by the earliest miners. Their movement is read as a behavioural clue about long-dormant supply rather than a liquidity event. Whether more early-era wallets follow is the open question, and that is what would carry real weight for sentiment around old supply.
