A Bitcoin address that's been silent since the early days just stirred back to life. Wallet 1Au1uZ transferred 1,000 BTC—currently valued at $89 million—after sitting untouched for 14 years.
Here's the wild part: those coins were acquired when Bitcoin traded at just $3.88 per coin. The entire position cost less than $4,000 back then.
That's a return from under four grand to nearly ninety million dollars. No dividends, no reinvestment, just pure holding through every cycle, crash, and rally Bitcoin's seen over the past decade and a half.
These dormant whale movements always raise questions. Is it an early miner cashing out? Estate settlement? Or just someone who finally remembered their password? Whatever the reason, it's a reminder of Bitcoin's journey from obscure experiment to major asset class.
Only in crypto does a forgotten wallet become a generational wealth story.

Damn, 4,000 turned into 90 million? This is what real hodling looks like. The mindset this guy had for 14 years must have been tough.

Bought coins for 4,000, now worth 8.9 billion. This is what real passive income looks like.
