A Bitcoin wallet believed to be from the time of Satoshi has suddenly become active again after nearly 12.8 years of inactivity. This wallet contains 479 BTC, currently valued at approximately 53.68 million USD—compared to just 5,748 USD at the beginning of 2012, equivalent to an astonishing profit of over 9,338%.
Upon re-emergence, this wallet performed two small test transactions, transferring 0.24998803 BTC and 0.00039728 BTC to two anonymous wallets, showing caution in this return. Whale Alert, a blockchain monitoring service, detected this activity. At the time of reporting, the price of Bitcoin was trading around 110,480 USD, slightly down from a peak of nearly 112,550 USD. This event further raises expectations that early-stage wallet holders may be re-entering the market after a long period of "hibernation."
