A dusty old bitcoin wallet from November 2013 recently woke up, stretched its digital legs, and unloaded 400 BTC—worth a cool $45.6 million today—marking its first move in nearly 12 years.

A bitcoin whale rolled out of hibernation at block height 916840, btcparser.com data shows, shifting 400.07908897 BTC after approximately 11 years, 10 months, and 9 days of silence. Back when those coins were tucked away on Nov. 20, 2013, BTC closed at $590—meaning the stash was worth about $236,000. Fast forward to today, and that same pile is valued at $45.6 million, chalking up a jaw-dropping 19,221.19% gain.
The move wasn’t a single splash either: 27 wallets got a taste, with 20 sending 15 BTC each, another six tossing 15 BTC apiece, and one quirky address moving 10.07908897 BTC to round it all out. With just a day left in September, the month has been buzzing with action from long-sleeping bitcoin wallets shaking off the dust and moving serious coin.
