Bitcoin dormant for 16 years wakes up: You can look up these 2 transfers yourself on a block explorer
At 12:08 and 12:10 Beijing time on 11/13, two transactions were included in blocks 975,628 and 975,629, respectively, each spending 50 BTC. Both were mining rewards, mined on September 19, 2010 (block 80,723) and September 8, 2010 (block 78,671), respectively, and had not moved for 16 years.
I checked each detail on mempool.space. Follow these steps and you can verify it yourself:
1. Input type: Both are labeled P2PK, an early mining-era format commonly used to “pay directly to a public key”—they don’t even use addresses starting with 1.
2. Output addresses: All start with bc1q. One transaction splits the funds into approximately 49.99 + 0.01 BTC, and the other into approximately 49 + 1 BTC.
3. Fees: Each transaction paid just 1,110 satoshis.
4. Previous hop: Click the txid in the input, and it shows “coinbase”—meaning it’s a mining reward, not a transfer from someone else.
A quick guide to address prefixes: 1 = oldest, P2PKH; 3 = P2SH, commonly used for multisig; bc1q = native SegWit; bc1p = Taproot.
Nobody knows who moved the coins or why. Don’t speculate about the owner, and don’t automatically treat “old coins waking up” as a sell-off signal.
