Decade-Old Bitcoin Worth $161 Million Moves in Two Weeks

Decade-Old Bitcoin — Bitcoin worth over $161 million, dormant for more than a decade, has been transferred from four wallets in a two-week period ending September 22, 2026.

The movement involved a total of 1,971 BTC, with the largest single transaction of 600 BTC, valued at $51.9 million, occurring just hours before the report. Blockchain data shows the coins were originally mined or acquired in 2013 and 2014 and had remained untouched until this month.

Notably, three of the four wallets involved are tagged in on-chain analysis tools with the label “Noah Doe,” a reference to a long-running lawsuit involving the U.S. government and a substantial cache of seized Bitcoin. The tags suggest a potential connection to that legal case, though the specific reason for the transfers remains unconfirmed.

The movement of such large, long-dormant holdings often attracts market attention, as it can signal a major holder preparing to sell or restructure assets. The activity coincides with Bitcoin trading above $86,000.
