Dormant bitcoin wallets move 227,196 pre-2019 BTC in 2026, data shows
Checkonchain data shows more than 227,000 BTC acquired before 2019 has moved in 2026, with a separate onchain investigation tracing large transfers from long-dormant wallets and mining rewards dating back to 2010. Revived coins are often read as potential sell pressure, since holders who sat through multiple cycles may be positioning to exit. Traders watch dormant-supply metrics because a sustained pickup in old-coin spending can weigh on price even without confirmed sales.
