Bitcoin Whale Awakens After 14 Years, Moves $16.6 Million

A previously dormant Bitcoin wallet, originating from the early days of the cryptocurrency, has been activated and transferred $16.6 million in a move that raised concerns about the security vulnerabilities of long-term Bitcoin holdings as quantum computing advances. This activity comes after 14 years of inactivity, with an anonymous owner transferring this substantial sum of Bitcoin on October 24, 2025. Experts suggest that this event could highlight a growing trend among long-term holders to move their Bitcoin assets due to potential threats from quantum technology.
