Seasoned holders have been busy moving their dormant bitcoin stashes throughout July, making it one of the biggest months ever for these sleepy coins to re-enter the wild. Following our recent report spotlighting 101,003 long-dormant bitcoin from 2011 to 2017 springing to life, another 471.8678 BTC quietly moved over the past 48 hours.

Leading the charge was a bitcoin address born on April 8, 2013, which transferred 14.55 BTC—worth $1.7 million—for the first time in 12 years and 3 months. Interestingly, btcparser.com stats show an address created just two days later on Apr. 10, 2013, moved 181 BTC—roughly $21.6 million—at block height 907225.

The 2013 wallet that shifted 181 BTC.

Roughly 26 blocks after that, another address, this one dating back to Oct. 20, 2013, transferred 90 BTC valued at $10.7 million. Ten blocks after that, a holder who had been sitting on 1 BTC since Jan. 25, 2014, finally moved the coin—for the first time in 11 years and 6 months.

At block heights 907331 and 907347, two wallets from the summer of 2017 quietly moved 10 BTC and 30 BTC, respectively—marking their first activity in years. Then, at block 907455, another 2013-era wallet emerged as an address created on Mar. 24 of that year transferred 44.30 BTC worth $5.2 million.

The five wallets from Feb. 2, 2012, that moved 100 BTC.

Sunday brought a curious twist: five separate wallets, all born on Feb. 2, 2012, each moved 20 BTC. Back then, bitcoin was trading at just $6.09 per coin—meaning this individual scooped up 100 BTC for a mere $609. That once-humble $609 investment is now worth a staggering $11.9 million.
