Five Bitcoin wallets created in 2014 moved a combined 964.85 BTC between blocks 950403 and 950962 from May 23 to May 25, 2026. The wallets were inactive for more than a decade, with no outbound activity recorded until this week. On May 23, three wallets executed back-to-back transactions: 16jCf moved 195 BTC at block 950403, 1PhpW moved 233.93 BTC at block 950404, and 15s77 moved 487 BTC at block 950537. On May 25, two additional wallets activated with smaller transfers: 14UNk moved 28.88 BTC and 1JtpA moved 20.02 BTC at block 950962 within seconds. All wallets are P2PKH addresses created in 2014, and the final two cleared the mempool in the same block, suggesting coordination or shared control.
"Five bitcoin wallets created in 2014 moved a combined 964.85 BTC across blocks 950403 to 950962 on May 23-25, 2026, according to btcparser.com stats. At $77,503 per coin, the dormant holders may have liquidated roughly $74.8M. Analysts continue to watch onchain data closely as more dormant wallets show signs of activity near current price levels."
"For over a decade, none of the five addresses recorded outbound activity. That changed this week. On May 23, three wallets executed back-to-back transactions within hours of each other. The address 16jCf, created in August 2014, moved 195 BTC at block 950403, btcparser.com logs show. Minutes later, 1PhpW followed with 233.93 BTC shift at block height 950404. Later that afternoon, 15s77 moved 487 BTC at block 950537."
"Two more 2014 wallets activated today on May 25, but were much smaller moves. The address 14UNk transferred 28.88 BTC and 1JtpA moved 20.02 BTC, both recorded at block 950962 within seconds of each other. All five P2PKH (Pay-to-Public-Key-Hash) wallets carry a 2014 creation date. None showed any prior spending activity."
"The tightest cluster, the final two wallets, cleared the mempool in the same block, a detail that points to either coordination or a single controlling party man"
