A wallet linked to convicted Irish cannabis dealer Clifton Collins transferred 500 BTC worth $38 million on Aug. 28, 2026, raising on-chain recoveries associated with his holdings to 2,000 BTC valued at $155 million and marking what trackers treat as the fourth equal-sized batch from the stash. The coins left a legacy P2PKH address first created on Jan. 23, 2016—the first movement in more than a decade, when bitcoin traded near $382 and the 500 BTC were worth about $191,217—for a newer P2SH address, with Arkham Intelligence data showing the funds at Coinbase Prime after btcparser.com flagged the transfer. Collins acquired roughly 6,000 BTC in late 2011 and early 2012 with cannabis-sale proceeds, divided them across about 12 wallets of 500 BTC each, and later said the seed phrase was hidden on paper inside a fishing rod; after his 2017 arrest he forfeited around $3 million in bitcoin while the larger balance stayed out of reach. Ireland’s Criminal Assets Bureau, aided by Europol’s European Cybercrime Centre, began reopening the once-inaccessible wallets in March 2026 and had recovered 1,500 BTC by early July, including earlier batches to Coinbase Prime and a Binance deposit linked to Wintermute, citing highly complex technical expertise and decryption resources without ever stating that the fishing rod had been found. As of the evening of Aug. 28, neither Irish officials nor Europol had confirmed a fourth recovery as they did after prior openings, leaving roughly 4,000 BTC from the original group still outside the four observed batches.
