</ul> 
The movement of funds from different accounts in a single day shocked the crypto space. According to the report of Bitcoin.com, the world’s gateway of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency transactions of Dormant Bitcoin ($BTC) has recently moved for the first time in 11 years after appreciation.&nbsp; 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-what-is-dormant-bitcoin-strong">What is Dormant Bitcoin?&nbsp;</h2> 
The movement of $BTC for the first time in 11 years seeks the attention of crypto enthusiasts towards the respective concept. Dormant Bitcoin, also known as sleeping Bitcoin, is a type of Bitcoin address that has no transaction activities for a particular time period with a non-zero balance. 
As of July 2020, the total number of all the dormant Bitcoin addresses holds 98.7% of the BTC amount stored within the Dormant Bitcoin addresses. There are around 121,435 addresses holding a total balance of 3,709,302 BTC.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
These addresses remain inactive with a non-zero balance and got attention recently when a Dormant Bitcoin Whale shifted around $25 Million for the first time. The action was observed for the first time in the past 11 days, after appreciating by more than 240,000%.&nbsp; 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-who-is-behind-the-shift-strong">Who is Behind the Shift?&nbsp;</h2> 
Based on the report of Bitcoin.com, the whole scenario is not yet clear. It isn’t observed whether the entire cache of BTC was shifted by a single whale or a number of entities. The main reason behind the same is the movement of funds from different addresses. However, it is assumed that the whole action was taken by a single entity.&nbsp; 
Going down to the details, different amount of transactions were made from different wallets. The transactions were made after the other dormant BTC whales moved a significant amount of funds.&nbsp; 
However, there is no particular reason observed behind the same. The whale’s first transaction involved around 199.99 BTC which is around $5.4 Million, and is followed by 8 other transactions. In addition to this, the second transaction involved around 185.12 BTC which is worth around $5 Million. 
Surprisingly, all these Bitcoins were secured in July 2012 when <a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2023/09/12/bitcoin-btc-price-prediction-btc-near-25k-time-to-go-long/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a> was worth $7.15, comprising 97.41 BTC which is around $2.6 Million. Additionally, the final transaction was made from an address created on July 20, 2012, and transferred around 151.15 BTC valued at around $4 Million. 
Further, the transaction is made when the bankruptcy cryptocurrency exchange, <a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2023/09/14/ftx-can-liquidate-3-4-billion-crypto-assets-u-s-court-approves/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">FTX</a>, gets approval from the US Court for the District of Delaware to invest and sell its crypto funds. The approval is to settle the debt with creditors worth around $3 Billion. Also, the FTX cryptocurrency exchange is expected to surpass $3.4 Billion.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-conclusion-strong">Conclusion&nbsp;</h3> 
A transaction of $BTC worth $25 Million is observed after the other dormant BTC whales moved a significant amount of funds. The approval of FTX by the US court to settle the debt with creditors shocked the crypto holders. As a result, 9 different transactions were observed.
