Bitcoin whale stirs after 12-year slumber, transfers $84 million stash.

A bitcoin wallet that had been inactive for more than 12 years resurfaced late Monday, moving 909 BTC — now valued at over $84 million — to a new address.

On-chain data flagged by Whale Alert and Lookonchain shows the transfer from the address “1A2hq…pZGZm” to “bc1qk…sxaeh.” The wallet dates back to 2013, when bitcoin was trading below $7, leaving the holder with unrealized gains exceeding 13,000%.

The transaction follows a pattern observed since bitcoin surged beyond $100,000 last year, reviving long-dormant wallets holding sizable paper profits.

Such reactivations often stir speculation around potential profit-taking that could weigh on prices. However, none of the bitcoin moved late Monday has been sent to exchanges.

Instead, the transfer may represent a wallet consolidation or security-related move, with the funds remaining in a new address rather than being positioned for sale.
