Dormant Bitcoin whale wakes up after 13 years and moves 909 BTC
A Bitcoin whale moved 909 BTC, worth about $84 million, after 13 years of dormancy, realizing a massive profit.Summary
A long-dormant Bitcoin investor recently moved 909 BTC, valued at approximately $84 million, to a new wallet after 13 years of inactivity. This Bitcoin was originally acquired when the asset traded for under $7, resulting in an approximate 13,900-fold increase in value based on the current price of around $92,700. While the movement of dormant whale funds can sometimes cause market fluctuations, this recent transfer is smaller than historical examples, such as an 80,000 BTC sale by a Satoshi-era investor in July 2025. The transfer occurred as Bitcoin retreated from above $97,000, with analysts noting that recent selling pressure is originating from U.S. whales operating outside of the ETF market, representing a traditional selling pattern.
