On March 20, 2026, the activation of a bitcoin address that had held 2100 BTC for over 13 years and seven months was recorded. At the time of the transfer, the amount in this address was valued at more than $147 million. In 2012, these bitcoins were worth around $13,685, highlighting the significant increase in the value of the first cryptocurrency over this period.

Details of the Activation and Market Reaction
After a long period of inactivity, the wallet owner moved all the coins to another address. Experts note that such cases often coincide with periods of local market peaks. Some analysts point out that movements from “dormant” addresses can influence market dynamics.
“Coins that have been inactive for over 10 years move in 64% of cases within 30 days near local peaks — someone is not nostalgic, but is changing their position.”
Users on X (formerly Twitter) emphasize that the address belongs to the early mining era of 2009-2012, when bitcoin was mined only by individual enthusiasts. Wallets from this period are often associated with the so-called “Satoshi era.” According to experts, the market is factoring in the possibility of activating similar addresses at current prices for the first cryptocurrency.
Current Bitcoin Price and Activity of Major Players
Currently, bitcoin is trading in the range of around $70,000 per coin, confirming its stable position in the market. In comparison, in November 2025, analysts from Santiment noted an increase in the activity of so-called bitcoin whales, while experts from CryptoQuant reported that large holders continue to take profits. At that time, the price of bitcoin was approaching $80,000, and a month earlier it had reached $126,000.
The increase in movements from ancient bitcoin addresses remains one of the key trends for the market, especially during periods of significant price fluctuations.
