16-year-dormant Bitcoin wallets move $6.9 million

Two Bitcoin addresses moved 50 BTC each on November 13, 2026, after more than 16 years without spending their mining rewards. The 100 BTC was worth about $6.89 million when transferred. A later transaction combined coins from both addresses, suggesting coordinated control, but the owner and purpose of the moves are unknown.

The source estimates the coins were worth about $6 in total in 2010, when Bitcoin had little functioning market. Their rise in market value is not a realized gain: no sale had been identified, and an on-chain check at about 14:00 UTC found the coins had not moved again from their new destinations.
