Old Bitcoin Wallet Transfers BTC Worth $80 Million

A Bitcoin Miner from 2009 Sends BTC to Kraken

Recent blockchain activity has spotlighted a Bitcoin wallet, dormant since the early days of the cryptocurrency, now transferring a significant amount of BTC to the exchange Kraken. Arkham, a blockchain intelligence firm, identified this wallet, which originally mined Bitcoin in February and March 2009, a time when Bitcoin was virtually worthless. The wallet held 1,215 BTC, now valued at over $77 million, a monumental increase in value from 2014 when the BTC was worth approximately $474k.
