$BTC
This person bought Bitcoin at just $3.88! 🥳 Yes... the number is absolutely correct, it’s not a typo.
A ghost from the old Bitcoin era suddenly reappeared after 14 years of complete silence.
The wallet 1Au1uZ, which had not moved in over a decade, came back to life and transferred 1000 Bitcoins all at once — approximately $89 million —
Just a reminder: this whale acquired the same 1000 BTC on December 21, 2011, when the price of Bitcoin was no more than $3.88.
At that time, the value of what he owned was just $3883… about the price of an average laptop!
And today, after 14 years of inactivity, that wealth — which has not been touched — is estimated at around $90 million.
The awakening of old wallets in this manner is extremely rare, and their movements always raise waves of questions:
Did the owner recover the keys after losing them?
Is he an old miner securing his assets?
An OTC deal? A custodial transfer? Tax restructuring?
Or simply… is it time to move?
What we know for sure is the following:
A wallet from the Stone Age of Bitcoin has come back to life, and 1000 BTC officially entered in 2025.
