Early Bitcoin Remains Dormant in 2025 as 2010-Era Block Rewards Stay Largely Untouched

Bitcoin mined in its earliest years is moving far less frequently in 2025, with block rewards from 2010 remaining largely dormant and rarely entering circulation.
The slowdown highlights strong long-term conviction among early holders, often viewed as some of the most influential participants in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Analysts interpret the lack of movement as a bullish structural signal, suggesting reduced sell pressure from legacy coins and reinforcing Bitcoin’s narrative as a long-term store of value. As supply from early wallets stays locked, market focus continues to shift toward institutional flows and newer sources of liquidity.
