Satoshi-era BTC wallet moves $47 after 14 years, holding 2,100 Bitcoin worth $148M
A long-inactive Satoshi-era Bitcoin wallet made a small test transfer after nearly 14 years, moving about $47 in BTC from “1NB3Z…QB6ZX” to a new address at 10:27am UTC on Friday. The wallet still holds 2,100 BTC valued at nearly $148 million at current prices, after acquiring the coins in July 2012 for roughly $6.5 each (about $13,685 total). The move does not confirm an imminent sale, though whale activity is often watched for short-term market signals.

The token, first unveiled in October as part of a shift toward a multi-chain "trade everything" app, was meant to power fee discounts, creator rewards and governance. OpenSea is ending its Waves rewards campaign and offering certain users fee refunds as the broader NFT market cap has dropped from $3.2 billion on Jan. 15 to $1.62 billion.
