Long-Silent Bitcoin Whale Resurfaces After 10 Years As BTC Price Soars

Crypto whales’ wallets have been the subject of attention and sometimes obsession since they carry a vast holding of Bitcoin, and their movement can affect market prices and impact volatility. Today, many websites and social media users track these wallets and their most recent transactions.

Last October 19th, 2024, at 5:45 am, Whale Alert shared that a dormant BTC address with 25 Bitcoins valued at $1,711,020 was activated after more than 10 years of inactivity. The wallet’s re-activation comes at an exciting time when Bitcoin’s price briefly hits $69k.

Dormant Bitcoin Address Boasts 25 BTC

According to Whale Alert, the BTC wallet held 25 BTC, which was valued at $1.71 million. This wallet has been inactive since 2013 when Bitcoin’s value hovered between $100 and $266. It was an exciting and tumultuous year for Bitcoin, as its price dropped to $50 before recovering to $100. With Bitcoin’s value at less than $1,000, the wallet’s owner holds a sizable stash after the coin’s meteoric rise in the last few years.
