Satoshi-era whale moves $85M in Bitcoin after 13 years

A long-dormant Satoshi‑era wallet has suddenly moved 909.38 BTC, now worth about $84.6 million, throwing fresh light on the massive upside of early Bitcoin bets.

A dormant Satoshi-era Bitcoin wallet has jolted back to life after 13 years, transferring its entire 909.38 BTC balance, worth approximately $84.6 million at current prices, into a fresh BTC address. 

Onchain data from blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence shows that the address first received Bitcoin (BTC) in 2013, when one coin was still trading at under $7, implying a paper gain in excess of 13,900 times. 

For comparison, if, instead of buying 909.38 BTC, worth around $6,400 in 2013, the same amount had gone into a low‑cost S&P 500 index fund, it would be worth roughly $37,000 today, after a gain of around 481%.
