Man Gains 99,999,900 On Bitcoin After 15-year

A long-dormant Bitcoin wallet has suddenly become active, moving 50 BTC valued at nearly 4 million after remaining untouched for 15 years-securing an astonishing 99,999,900 return.

Blockchain data from Arkham reveals the transaction occurred on February 2, 2025, piquing the interest of cryptocurrency enthusiasts.

The wallet, which initially mined these BTC in Bitcoin's early days, has transformed an almost worthless asset into a substantial fortune.

Such movements by early adopters often ignite speculation-could this be an old miner cashing out, a security-related transfer, or something else entirely?

The transaction, recorded in block 882004, originated from address 15RRC9c6if and was split into two-20 BTC to bc1qew0adx9 and 29.9999926 BTC to bc1qgjp3nvye7. Despite the significant sum, the transaction fee was a mere 0.57.
