Satoshi-Era Wallets Transfer 250 Bitcoin From 2009 in First Action Since 2022
Between block height 862,079 and 862,087, a group of five vintage bitcoin wallets from 2009 came out of hibernation, spending a total of 250 BTC for the first time in over 15 years. With addresses from the Satoshi era being incredibly rare, these transactions, worth $15.8 million total, marked the first movement of 2009 BTC since April 2022.
On Sept. 20, 2024, five unique legacy wallets (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), known as P2PKH (Pay to Public Key Hash) addresses, transferred 250 BTC from wallets created between Jan. 29 and Feb. 2, 2009. In the last six years, there have been only two other instances of 2009-era BTC moving: one on May 20, 2020, and the other on April 7 and 8, 2022.
