Satoshi-era miner estimated to sell 2,000 bitcoin held for 15 years
Bitcoin mined in the network’s early “Satoshi era” moved after about 15 years, drawing market attention. On-chain analysts said an early miner shifted 2,000 BTC, worth about $181 million at current prices, calling it a key whale move since late 2024. Researchers said the funds came from 2010 block rewards and were consolidated before being sent to Coinbase. The move was also seen as part of a broader rise in reactivated “vintage” bitcoin supply.
