A single, high-amount transfer made by a wallet that has been dormant in the Bitcoin network for more than 13 years has brought long-term investor behavior in the cryptocurrency market back to the agenda. In the transaction that took place on Monday, the transfer of 909.38 BTC to a single address was confirmed by in-Blockchain data. The move of approximately $84.6 million is considered remarkable in terms of the re-circulation of assets from the early stages of Bitcoin. It is also noteworthy that the transfer was made during a period of fluctuation in global markets following the US-EU trade tension.
Transfer After 13 Years of Silence
According to internal blockchain analysis, the wallet in question was last active in the first months of 2013 and accumulated Bitcoins between the end of 2012 and April 2013. At that time, the price of Bitcoin started from 13 dollars and rose to approximately 250 dollars. At around 16:17 on Monday, the entire balance in the wallet was moved to a new address in a single transaction.
The data shows that the transaction was detected by Arkham Intelligence. The sending address was recorded as “1A2hq…pZGZm” and the receiving address was recorded as “bc1qk…sxaeh”. The fact that the transfer was made all at once, rather than piecemeal, indicates a planned and conscious move.
There is no verification as to the real owner of the wallet or who the new address belongs to. However, the fact that the Bitcoins in question are not transferred to stock exchanges does not give a clear signal about the possibility of short-term sales.
Satoshi Era Wallets and Market Dynamics
During Bitcoin’s historic rise last year, it was seen that many wallets from the early period became active again. The common interpretation in the market was that long-term investors tended to realize the increase in value exceeding ten years. This trend, together with large-scale transactions, had an impact on liquidity and price expectations.
In another transaction that took place in July 2025, a Bitcoin whale is known to have disposed of more than 80,000 BTC assets through Galaxy Digital and made a profit of approximately $9 billion. Such transactions indicate that early supply occasionally returns to the market.
At the time of the last transfer, the price of Bitcoin was trading at $92,531. The price maintained its course in the balance that occurred after the sharp decline triggered by the trade tension between the USA and the European Union at the end of the week.
