Satoshi-Era Bitcoin Wallet Activated After 13 Years

An old Bitcoin wallet containing 59 Bitcoins, worth roughly $3.8 million, was activated after more than 13 years of inactivity. This occurred during a significant Bitcoin price surge that saw the cryptocurrency briefly reach $64,000. Several other dormant wallets have also been activated recently, including one containing $10.5 million worth of Bitcoin. Such ancient wallets are rare and date back to the era of Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto. In August, two wallets with over 13 years of dormancy were activated, one with $1.3 million and the other with $4.1 million worth of Bitcoin. The last known online message from Satoshi Nakamoto was sent in 2011.
