Two ancient mysterious BTC whales that bought Bitcoin for under 1,000 Dollars have awakened! Here’s what we know.

Two Bitcoin whales that have been inactive for a long time transferred a total of approximately 324.2 million dollars worth of 3,422 BTC early this morning. These transfers have been recorded as one of the largest movements from inactive wallets seen in recent years.

Both wallets had not performed any transactions since 2014. At that time, the price of Bitcoin was well below 1,000 dollars. Therefore, the transfers made were considered remarkable in terms of both amount and timing.

The identity of the wallet owners and the reason for the transfers are currently unknown. It is also not clear whether the two wallets belong to the same person or if they have any connection with each other.

According to the on-chain analysis platform Spot On Chain data, one of these movements came from a wallet named “1NWPS” that has been inactive for 10.5 years. This wallet alone held 2.343 BTC (, approximately 222.2 million dollars ). The other transfer occurred from a wallet named “1PiEK” that has been inactive for 11.75 years, and 1.079 BTC (, approximately 102.5 million dollars ) was transferred.

This extraordinary whale movement coincides with the recent increase in overall whale activity. According to research published by CryptoQuant in April 2025, a total of 62,800 BTC, which is over seven years old, was transferred in the first three months of 2025. This figure is 110% higher compared to the same period in 2024.
