Crypto Brief: Dormant Bitcoin Wallets Continue to Stir as $50M Moves in September

Latest reporting indicates that with bitcoin trading between $76,000 to $82,000 this past week, during the first five days of September, a total of 626.74 BTC worth over $50 million, from dormant sleeping bitcoin wallets, moved for the first time in years.

While the steady stream of transfers continues, the pace at which vintage coins are waking from dormancy has slowed.

5, 2026, eight dormant wallets first created in 2013 shifted 25 BTC each at block height 965625, all within 25 seconds of each other.

The transfers, discovered by btcparser.com, looked to be the same entity and almost certainly one owner consolidating.

In addition to those eight transfers, the 13-year-old BTC was sent to the custodian Bitgo, according to Arkham Intelligence.

2013 wallets have been the biggest spenders in September, with 346.07 BTC spent across a total of nine separate transfers.

Excluding the eight transfers sent to the crypto custodian Bitgo, another sole transaction moved 146.05 BTC on Sept.

September’s second-largest dormant spender so far emerged on Sept.
