According to Arkham, the funds were sent from the address to several wallets, mostly in batches of 15 BTC. Consequently, the user’s balance is now empty.

Analysts noted that the initial coins were received from miners about 15 years ago. The identity of the owner and the reasons for the transfer remain unknown.

During the 12-year “hibernation,” the price of Bitcoin rose from $135 to $122,149.
