The address of a bitcoin miner who has been dormant for more than 10 years began transferring bitcoin to Kraken three weeks ago
On September 24th, according to CoinDesk, a 2009 bitcoin miner started transferring bitcoins to cryptocurrency exchange Kraken three weeks ago after nearly a decade of account silence. So far, the wallet has transferred a total of 10 bitcoins through three transactions, the latest of which was 5 bitcoins sent on Tuesday, worth about $300,000.
According to data from on-chain analytics tool Arkham, the miner transferred bitcoins several times between 2011 and 2014, but then the account stopped moving. Recently, such wallets from the "Satoshi era" have attracted market attention. Last week, another bitcoin wallet that has been dormant for 15 years also transferred $16 million worth of bitcoins to multiple accounts.
