The movement of 1005 #BTC mined in the year 2010, caught the attention of blockchain researcher Kirill Kretov on August 14th. Back when these coins were deposited into the original wallet 13 years ago, their value stood at $328. However, their worth has now surged to over $28.5 million.

Given that these bitcoins were mined a year after the inception of the first cryptocurrency, speculations emerged within the community linking the address to the anonymous creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. Nevertheless, Kretov refuted this theory in a comment to Cointelegraph. According to him, it's more likely that these coins belong to a long-term holder or an organization associated with previous movements of the first-mined coins totaling 13,000 BTC between 2020 and 2021. The researcher also noted that the owner might have been selling the bitcoins through over-the-counter (OTC) deals, stating, "I would expect the price to be higher than the current market, as these are 100% clean coins. Not to mention their age, which makes them particularly attractive for crypto numismatics."

Meanwhile, a similar balance in Bitcoin Cash remains untouched in the original wallet.

Recall that on July 22nd, a dormant wallet, inactive for over 11 years, moved all its holdings of 1037 BTC, valued at around $31 million. $BTC
