Awakening of the “Satoshi Era”: Ancient Bitcoin wallets stir after 16 years of hibernation
The crypto community has recorded a large-scale movement of cryptocurrency dating back to the very beginnings of the industry: on Saturday, September 5, 2026, a series of 2010 wallets transferred a total of 600 BTC to new addresses. At the time of the transaction, the total value of the moved assets exceeded $48 million, even though the coins were originally received as mining rewards when the first cryptocurrency was practically worthless.
📉 Market impact and motives
Transferring coins to new addresses does not necessarily mean selling them. Analysts believe it is a routine consolidation of assets or an update for security: older address cryptographic formats are being moved to modern wallet types (e.g., SegWit/Taproot) to protect against hacks.
Since the coins were sent to new cold wallets rather than to cryptocurrency exchanges, the effect on the Bitcoin price, which trades around $80,000, proved to be minimal
