A Bitcoin address funded in September 2013 transferred its entire balance of 411.
The transaction occurred at 18: 23 UTC on Oct. 18 and combined two inputs into a payment of 411. The sender paid a fee of 337 satoshis. Most of the coins had arrived in two transactions on Sept. 11, 2013, while smaller deposits were added later; none of the balance had previously been spent.
The bitcoin moved to a single new address using the modern SegWit format. That address had no outgoing transactions when checked, and the coins had not been sent to an identified exchange, so the transfer does not establish that the holder sold the bitcoin. Moving funds to a newer address is consistent with custodial maintenance, although the owner’s purpose is not known.
The address was also identified as one of 39,069 wallets named in a New York lawsuit seeking to classify dormant holdings as abandoned property. The case involves a pseudonymous plaintiff and two Wyoming companies and concerns wallets estimated to contain about 3. 8 million BTC. The transfer demonstrates that whoever controlled this address retained access to its private keys, but it does not resolve the broader legal dispute.
The movement follows several other recent transfers from long-inactive wallets. Two wallets dormant for more than a decade moved a combined 417 BTC the previous day, while other large, old balances also shifted during the month. Those transactions have drawn attention because coins held through major market cycles can re-enter circulation, but the immediate destination of this wallet provides no confirmed evidence of a market sale.
