295.63 BTC worth about $21M moved from wallets dormant since 2014–2015, followed by an additional 370 BTC from sleeping addresses. Data indicates that 103,913.94 BTC worth about $7.6B has left long-dormant addresses in 2026. Transfers are coming from legacy P2PKH addresses, with 19 distinct transfers occurring in the past day. Several wallets were created in 2014, including one created on Jan. 4, 2014 that sent 101.825 BTC to another P2PKH address, later distributed to two wallets. Many coins were accumulated during the 2013–2015 bear market, when bitcoin traded far below current levels, implying holders may be realizing gains as activity continues.
"295.63 BTC worth $21M moved Thursday from wallets dormant since 20142015, adding sell pressure below $74,000. On Friday, an additional 370 BTC moved from so-called sleeping bitcoin addresses. Checkonchain.com data shows 103,913.94 BTC worth $7.6B has left long-dormant addresses in 2026 alone. The trend of early bitcoin holders returning coins to circulation shows no signs of slowing as 2026 progresses."
"A total of 19 distinct transfers took place during the past day, each stemming from legacy P2PKH (Pay-to-Public-Key-Hash) addresses. Among them were five wallets created in 2014, including addresses first funded on Jan. 4, Jan. 27, March 19, and a pair of wallets originating on Aug. 11. The largest transfer originated from a wallet created on Jan. 4, 2014, which moved 101.825 BTC to another unknown P2PKH address."
"The funds were subsequently distributed across two distinct wallets and have remained untouched there as of publication time. The other four transfers were far smaller in size, yet collectively shifted 63.81 BTC, according to btcparser.com logs. Those coins were accumulated when bitcoin was changing hands for less than $900, during the bear market that followed the 2013 all-time high and the fallout from Mt Gox's collapse."
"Bitcoin was still trading at relatively low levels in 2015, averaging approximately $272 per coin for the year. A set of 12 of the 14 awakenings that came from 2015 wallets sending 10 BTC each between block heights 951336 and 951404. As more long-silent coins return to circulation, the transfers may even be adding to the sell pressure pushing prices lower."
