Some old coins moved today (100 BTC from June 2010).

It’s very rare to see pre-GPU era bitcoins move, it only happened dozens of times in the past few years.

In January, ForkLog reported about 8,000 BTC moved, mined in 2010. Analysts suggested that the coins belonged to Coinbase.
\n
As reported, in May 2020, 50 BTC moved, obtained as a reward for the block mined on February 9, 2009. One of the miners at the time was Bitcoin’s creator Satoshi Nakamoto. Some users believed he owned the coins, but analysis of Patoshi patterns did not confirm the hypothesis.
