‘Ancient’ Bitcoin Changes Wallets After 12 Years Dormant
Asleep for ages, more sats wake from years of slumber. Bitcoin bought in 2011 came back to life on Thursday, when 139 Bitcoin belonging to address 1H1Ab6 moved into a newly created Segwit address. The owner—who hodled for nearly twelve years–bought the coins in June 2011 for a bit over $2,250 dollars, only to see them grow into a staggering $3.5 million at bitcoin’s current price mark.

So far this year, over 3,000 BTC from Ancient Supply has returned to life. Source: Decrypt
