by

Picture this: Bitcoin, the rebellious digital gold, smashed through ceilings on Monday, shaking awake 342.77 sleepy coins worth a whopping $41.8 million. These coins hadn’t budged in years, but oh, the rally was too thrilling to ignore!

Bitcoin’s $126K High Makes Early Birds Flutter

On October 6, 2025, Bitcoin soared to a jaw-dropping $126,272 per coin on Bitstamp, breaking records like a bull in a china shop. 🐂💥 But by Tuesday, it had cooled its jets, dropping to a mere $120,648. Since then, it’s been bouncing between $121,500 and $122,500 like a hyperactive kangaroo. 🦘

Between those two dates, roughly 342.77447282 BTC from wallets that had been snoozing since 2013-2017 decided to pack their bags and move to new addresses, according to the ever-reliable btcparser.com.

All this coin, a hefty sum of more than 342.77 BTC, danced their way out during Bitcoin’s epic rally. 💃🕺

At press time, this transferred treasure trove was valued at $41.8 million-far more than their creators ever imagined. Most of the movement came from wallets created in 2013, which collectively shifted 122.62019399 BTC over the past two days.

One transaction alone moved roughly 100 BTC, while another 2013 wallet chipped in the rest. On Tuesday, after Bitcoin’s $126,000-plus peak, a 2014 wallet decided it was time to move 100 coins worth $12.2 million.

Those coins were sent to a flagged Kraken deposit address. Over the past two days, 11 separate transfers from 2016-era dormant wallets also woke up and relocated their coins for the first time since they were first gathered.

Lastly, two transactions from wallets created in 2017 moved a total of 20.49700505 BTC. Altogether, this flurry of wallet activity between October 6 and October 7 paints a picture of long-term holders finally stirring, probably thinking, “Hey, maybe it’s time to cash in on this madness!” 😂

While prices have dipped slightly since touching $126,272, the awakening of these dormant Bitcoin wallets-some untouched for more than a decade-hints that early adopters might just be seizing the moment to shuffle their digital fortunes. 🚀💰
