Christmas Day Brings Decade-Old Dormant Bitcoin Wallets Back to Life
Several dormant Bitcoin wallets reawakened on Christmas Day after years of inactivity. One wallet, containing 20.55 BTC, hadn’t moved since February 2011, when Bitcoin was valued at just $0.90 per coin. Making the stash worth $18.49.
Today, that same amount is worth over $2 million. Another wallet, holding 210 BTC from 2014, was valued at $129,990 when acquired but is now worth $20.6 million. These resurgent wallets highlight Bitcoin’s growth and its transition through different user generations. Showcasing both its foundational principles and its expanding global adoption.
