Bitcoin held for at least a decade is moving at an unusual pace in 2026, with Galaxy Research identifying activity among the network’s oldest coins despite the year being only partly complete. Six wallets dormant since 2011, 2012 and 2014 transferred a combined 553.59 BTC, worth about $40.15 million, between Aug. 16 and Aug. 26. The transfers included 212 BTC untouched since August 2012, 10.74 BTC dormant since June 2011 and 40 BTC last held in May 2012. The 40 BTC was sent to German custody bank Boerse Stuttgart Digital. The transactions generated gains of about 557,640%, and 1,535,911% on the cited holdings, based on a cost basis near $12 for the 212 BTC transfer. The movements do not establish whether the coins were sold, moved into new custody or consolidated. Several wallets carried a Salomon Client Dusted tag linked to the Noah Doe lawsuit, while around 233,000 BTC also left long-term wallets during the Coldcard hardware-wallet exploit. Bitcoin fell as low as $76,877 on Friday after Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh’s first Jackson Hole keynote was interpreted as hawkish, lifting September rate-hike odds to about 56% from 35% a day earlier. Longer-term sentiment remained supported by $2.8 billion in U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF inflows over eight straight days through Wednesday and Myriad traders favoring a move toward $84,000 over a decline to $55,000.
