Six Bitcoin wallets inactive since 2011–2014 moved 553.59 BTC (about $40 million) between Aug. 16–26, 2026, per Galaxy Research data cited by CoinDesk; only one of six transfers reached a known institutional address. Because most transaction-monitoring rules don't flag dormancy itself, revived old coin can clear exchange gatekeeping with less scrutiny than freshly mined or actively traded funds.
