10.6 Years Dormant Bitcoin Address With 7,597% Gain Is Back

Another dormant Bitcoin (BTC) address are getting reactivated even as the market shows signs of a slight recovery. The latest is a 10-and-a-half-year inactive wallet that suddenly came to life.

More Dormant Bitcoin Address Revived

Earlier on Monday, blockchain tracker Whale Alert discovered activity from a Bitcoin address that had laid dormant for 10.6 years. The said wallet holds 25 BTC units that are valued at $1,576,085 based on the current BTC price. Noteworthy, 1 unit of Bitcoin was trading at $62,899.86 at the time of this writing, corresponding with a 5.32% over the last 24 hours.

When these 25 Bitcoin units first made their way into the wallet in 2013, they were only worth about $20,399. This suggests that the owner of the formerly dormant Bitcoin wallet has registered a profit of 7,597%. Markedly, this shows that many of those who invested in Bitcoin in the Satoshi era are currently in huge profits.

Last month, Bitcoin wallet moved 25,000 Bitcoin in six separate transactions and this aligned with the period when there were continuing concerns of BTC price crash amid sky-high uncertainty.

A few weeks back, Bitcoin holders were reeling in losses as the coin saw a steady decline in its value. During this period, several whale investors especially the dormant ones, suddenly began to empty their holding. Last week, another dormant Bitcoin wallet came back alive after about 10.6 years. Activities were spotted on the said Bitcoin address which holds almost 149 Bitcoin.

Within the time of dormancy to when it was reactivated, the Bitcoin address had recorded a 10,419% profit. It went from holding $81,667 worth of Bitcoin to over $8.6 million. At the time, the gain on this reactivated wallets ranked as one of the highest gains that a dormant Bitcoin wallet has recorded. A bigger profit margin was seen earlier today as a dormant Bitcoin wallet revived after more than 11 years of inactivity.

Blockchain analytics platform Spot On Chain announced that the dormant wallet with the address “1EhXAfST” held 1,000 Bitcoin before going silent 11.8 years ago. The wallet initially received the coins on September 25, 2012, when one unit of Bitcoin was only worth about $12.1. Therefore, as of September 2012, the entire holding was worth $12,100.

Recently, the wallet transferred the 1,000 BTC to two new wallets. At the time of the transfer, BTC was trading at $62,877.94, making the entire holding worth approximately $62.8 million. This wallet ended up making its owner 496,603.31% richer than when he first purchased the coins.
