In February 2025, long-static bitcoin wallets redistributed 1,549.25 BTC—worth roughly $130.45 million at a current per-unit price of $84,202—signaling a smaller revival of inactive holdings compared to last month.
Fewer Vintage Vaults Crack Open: 1,549 Bitcoin Reallocated
Blockchain tracker btcparser.com observed that these funds flowed from legacy wallets dormant across distinct epochs. February saw no activity from 2009-era addresses, while a solitary 2010 transaction involved 50 BTC. Four 2011 transactions shuffled 75.00011 BTC, and two from 2012 repositioned 37.84 BTC.
Momentum extended to wallets from 2013–2017: 19 transactions from 2013 transferred 348.5051 BTC, 10 from 2014 shifted 136.2 BTC, and 12 from 2015 reallocated 292.33 BTC. Six 2016 transactions totaled 112.65 BTC, while 12 from 2017 dominated with 496.72 BTC moved.
The aggregate 1,549.25 BTC represents quieter volume than January amid volatile trading conditions. At prevailing rates, the repositioned assets equate to around $130.45 million, suggesting deliberate maneuvers by veteran stakeholders. These vintage shifts could reflect tactical portfolio realignment.
Each transfer is meticulously documented with timestamps and block heights, enabling transparent fund tracing. Activity categorized by year reveals uneven engagement, but peaking for wallets born in 2017. Notably, but not highly unusual at all, wallets from bitcoin’s infancy remained inert.
Several heavyweight transactions stood out, including a 2017-era vault relocating 222.24 BTC and a 2013-origin wallet dispersing 185.65 BTC. A singular entity, leveraging nine wallets minted in 2013, orchestrated a coordinated exodus of 90 BTC—each holding a neat decimalized stash of 10 coins. Meanwhile, an ostensibly trivial transfer of 0.00011194 BTC masked a more substantive maneuver: the discreet migration of 27.74 BTC.
