As showcased, the wallet held 43 Bitcoin which is currently equivalent to about $2.5 million. This is based on the market value of the digital currency at the time of the writing. Notably, Bitcoin has registered a 3.74% dip within the last 24 hours and is now trading at $59,627.62.
In mid-March, BTC price rose significantly especially as spot Bitcoin ETF inflows soared. This was the season when the flagship cryptocurrency hit its current <a href="https://coingape.com/crypto-prices-today-march-14-bitcoin-nears-73000-ethereum-dips-as-sol-pepe-wif-soar/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">all-time-high (ATH) of over $73,000</a>. However, since that time, the coin has seen a steady drop in its value coupled with some fluctuations towards a price revival.&nbsp;Noteworthy, most of these wallet reactivation and transfer of BTC showed up as Bitcoin began to lose its profits.
Two <a href="https://coingape.com/satoshi-era-bitcoin-btc-addresses-awakens-with-massive-gains/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin whale addresses</a> with the markers “16vRqA” and “1DUJuH” which stayed dormant for over a decade came alive in May. Coincidentally, the two addresses contained the same units of Bitcoin (500 BTC) and even went dormant within a 24 hour interval of each other. Similarly, an old Bitcoin address that has been dormant for 5 and a half years resurfaced in early June. Upon reactivation, the address transferred <a href="https://coingape.com/bitcoin-address-dormant-for-5-5-years-just-sent-half-a-billion-btc-to-binance/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">8,000 BTC</a> which it received from 6 different transactions to the Binance exchange. At the time of the transfer, the Bitcoin were worth about $535 million.

One of the longest dormant Bitcoin wallet was also reactivated last week. On June 27, the on-chain tracker Lookonchain revealed that a dormant <a href="https://coingape.com/satoshi-era-miner-wakes-up-after-14-years-moves-bitcoin-binance/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Satoshi-era miner wallet</a> resurrected after 14 years of dormancy. This address also moved 50 BTC to the&nbsp;<a href="https://coingape.com/blog/binance-exchange-review/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Binance</a>&nbsp;crypto exchange.
Generally, the broad crypto market is seeing huge liquidations as investors attempt to bring their losses to the barest minimum. According to CoinGlass data, leveraged long positions experienced a significant drop recently, impacting the crypto industry.
More than 56.670 traders were liquidated, taking with them $162.22 million in digital assets. The largest single liquidation of $4 million was from OKX exchange.
