- Historic Transfer: A Satoshi-era miner transferred 2,000 Bitcoin in 2026, valued at approximately $180 million, marking the first activity since November 2024, which may signal a significant turning point for Bitcoin prices.
- Market Reaction: At the time of the transfer, Bitcoin's average price was $91,000, with Sunday trading at $90,592.11; despite slight fluctuations, market sentiment remains 'bullish', indicating investor confidence in Bitcoin.
- Historical Patterns: Analysts noted that Satoshi-era miners typically move Bitcoin around key price inflection points, with similar activity occurring in April 2024 when a miner transferred 50 Bitcoin after 14 years of inactivity, valued at over $3 million.
- Large Transfer Trends: This transfer is among the larger movements from early mining wallets, although a larger transfer of 80,000 Bitcoin worth over $8.6 billion occurred in July 2025, highlighting the activity of early Bitcoin holders during market volatility.
