When Bitcoin slid under the $80,000 mark last Thursday, 13 long-term wallet clusters of 2013 suddenly came to life, moving 325 btc (now worth $27.4 million).
130 years ago Bitcoin safe set will be unlocked
Recently, the price fluctuations in Bitcoin have been very unstable, but that has not stopped dormant hideouts from thriving after years of digital hibernation. On March 13th, BTCPARSER.com discovered a group of all 13 Pay-to-Public Key-Hash (P2PKH) wallets born between February and March 2013.

All the last atshi were poured into a single Pay-to-Script-Hash (P2SH) address. The first transaction was born from a wallet born on February 17, 2013, and all 325 BTCs moved to an upgraded wallet format using the “Send All” feature.
At the time, the entire Bitcoin storage was worth just $17,000. Today, it has swelled to $27.4 million. Funds are not dependent on the new P2SH wallet. March was relatively quiet for the ancient Bitcoin movement, but some artefacts are stoked.
On March 3rd, a set of six wallets, which were fake in 2011, shuffled 250 BTC across blocks 886,069 to 886,132. Then, on March 12th, four of the 11 active wallets dated 2010 pooled a modest 0.01012922 BTC (approximately $860 today) at a fresh address. Although modest, these four transactions from 2010 were the oldest.
This month, Bitcoin in 2017 was rocking the dust, with 10 transfers discovered so far. Collectively, the 2017 wallet changed funds in March 2025, offloading around 105.3 bitcoins. Still, it pales in comparison to the March 2025 record: 22 separate moves from the 2013 wallet mark the historic shuffle of once-forgotten cryptography treasures.
Today, the sleeping Bitcoin wallet of the 2012 era moved a single BTC. It’s a modest amount now, but it was the first time that funds have been moved since April 28, 2012. In addition to this, the wallet still holds 27.00064765 BTC worth $228 million.
