The cryptowallet, which no one has touched since January 2011, was suddenly used for large transactions. It converted 3962 bitcoins, according to BitInfoCharts data.

The coins were purchased when Bitcoin was about $0.39. At that time, the total volume did not exceed $1558.

At the time of the recent transaction, the price exceeded $118,000 per cryptocurrency, and the total amount was more than $468 million.

It is not known who made the transfer. It is also unclear whether this movement is linked to other large transactions that took place in the first half of July.

It was previously reported that the creator of Bitcoin has approached the top 10 richest people.
