Dormant 2010 bitcoin addresses move 600 BTC
Twelve bitcoin addresses that received mining rewards in March 2010 moved a combined 600 BTC, about $48 million, after more than 16 years of dormancy. The coins date to the era of 50 BTC block rewards and follow earlier detections of seven wallets moving 350 BTC. Whale Alert completed an expanded blockchain analysis across all 12 rewards and reported no connection to Satoshi Nakamoto, while one coin moved first in what on-chain observers called a likely test transaction. The controller remains unknown and investigators are limited to publicly visible ledger data.
