📰 Two Old Bitcoin Addresses Become Active After 16 Years
On November 13, 2026, analytics services recorded activity on two Bitcoin addresses that had remained dormant for about 16 years. Each held 50 BTC—a total of 100 BTC, valued at approximately $6.9 million at the time of the report.
The addresses date back to 2010, when the reward for mining a Bitcoin block was 50 BTC. Activity on one of the wallets included a transfer; the fact that coins moved does not mean they were sold on an exchange.
The reasons for the transactions and the owners of the addresses have not been identified. Data on the movement of old coins does not allow for reliable predictions of BTC’s future price.
