Bitcoin Wallet Moves 100 BTC After More Than 14 Years of Dormancy
The wallet first received the 100 BTC on November 2, 2011, during Bitcoin’s early mining era. Galaxy Research said the transfer was recorded in block 967732 and represented the wallet’s first known movement since the coins were received.
Wallet Linked to New York Legal Dispute
The Bitcoin address was labeled “Noah Doe #3113,” a designation that connects the wallet to an ongoing legal dispute in New York, according to the BSCN report.
The address’s long period of inactivity means the movement marks a notable change in the wallet’s transaction history. The source did not provide details about the identity of the person or entity controlling the address, nor did it establish why the 100 BTC was transferred.
The label associated with the address provides a connection to the legal dispute, but it does not by itself establish ownership of the Bitcoin or identify the individual behind the wallet.
Transfer Recorded in Block 967732
Galaxy Research identified block 967732 as the point at which the transfer occurred. The movement followed more than 14 years without a known transaction from the address.
The coins were originally received on November 2, 2011, placing them among Bitcoin holdings that date to the network’s early years. At that time, Bitcoin was still in its early mining era, several years before the cryptocurrency developed the broader market infrastructure seen today.
The transaction therefore provides a visible on-chain movement involving coins that had remained untouched for an extended period. No additional information was provided in the source about the destination address or whether the transfer represented a sale, internal wallet movement or another type of transaction.
Timing Draws Attention to Satoshi Era
The movement has also attracted attention because the Bitcoin dates from 2011, the same year Satoshi Nakamoto disappeared from public discussion.
Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, had largely withdrawn from public communication by the end of 2010 and became increasingly absent from the project’s public development process during 2011. The BSCN post specifically highlights the timing of the wallet’s original receipt in relation to that period.
However, the timing alone does not establish any connection between the wallet and Nakamoto. The source does not attribute the address to Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator.
The transfer leaves the wallet’s current owner and the purpose of the transaction unspecified, while its connection to the “Noah Doe #3113” label remains tied to the ongoing New York legal dispute cited by BSCN.
