On Aug. 14, an unknown user moved 1,005 BTC mined in 2010, drawing the attention of blockchain researcher Kirill Kretov.<\/p>\n

At the time of credit to the original wallet, 13 years ago, the coins were worth $328. They are now valued at more than $28.5 million.<\/p>\n

Because these bitcoins were mined a year after the first cryptocurrency emerged, the community speculated that the address is linked to its anonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.<\/p>\n

However, Kretov, in a comment to Cointelegraph<\/a>, refuted this theory. He said it was more likely a long-term holder or an organization connected with earlier movements of the first mined coins totaling 13,000 BTC during 2020\u20132021.<\/p>\n

The researcher also noted that the holder could have been selling the bitcoins through OTC<\/span> trades:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI would expect the price to be higher than the current market price, because these are 100% clean bitcoins. Not to mention how old they are, which makes them especially attractive to crypto-numismatics.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, the same balance in Bitcoin Cash<\/a> remained on the original wallet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As previously noted, on July 22 an inactive wallet for more than 11 years moved all holdings of 1037 BTC worth about $31 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
