In the first 12 days of 2025, 756.204 dormant bitcoins worth $71.8 million have reentered circulation after years of inactivity. The revived bitcoins were from wallets created between 2011 and 2017, with no activity from wallets in 2009 or 2010 so far this year. Evidence suggests that one individual may control two wallets that transferred 199.99 BTC. This year, a total of 421.793 BTC has been spent from dormant 2017 addresses. The reactivation of dormant wallets offers insights into the behavior of early adopters and long-term holders and highlights the relationship between historical ownership and current blockchain activity.
