Recent activity on the Bitcoin blockchain reveals the movement of 7,626 BTC originating from the post-Satoshi era, according to Maartunn, a community analyst at CryptoQuant, a platform specializing in on-chain data analytics. This period refers to the time after 2011 when Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous creator of Bitcoin, ceased active participation in the cryptocurrency community.
In a post on social media, Maartunn highlighted that these 7,626 Bitcoins, aged between three and five years, were recently transferred. This age range implies the coins were likely acquired between 2020 and 2022, a period when Bitcoin’s price fluctuated in the four-figure range, remaining below $20,000.

Several factors could explain this on-chain movement. One possibility is a transfer to a more secure digital wallet. Supporting this, blockchain monitoring service Whale Alert reported a similar transaction involving 7,625 BTC, valued at $859,861,898, moving from the Coinbase exchange to an unidentified new wallet. Alternatively, the owners may have decided to sell their holdings, potentially prompted by significant gains in value.
This week has seen a surge in the reactivation of older Bitcoins held in previously dormant wallets. On September 4th, Whale Alert also reported the activation of an address inactive for 12.8 years, containing 479 BTC worth $53,683,598.
Bitcoin Price Analysis
Bitcoin’s price has risen by 1.09% over the past 24 hours, reaching $112,241, and is up 2.41% for the week. Recent weaker-than-expected employment data raised concerns about a potential slowdown in the labor market. Private sector job growth in August was only 54,000, below the anticipated 75,000 and significantly lower than the prior month’s revised figure of 106,000.
New claims for unemployment benefits increased to 237,000, an increase of 8,000 from the previous week and exceeding analysts’ forecasts, further suggesting a potential weakening of the labor market.
Financial markets are now awaiting key employment data scheduled for release today, Friday, which could influence expectations regarding a potential interest rate reduction in September.
Bitcoin’s price remains range-bound between $104,000 and $116,000, reflecting market caution given the historical tendency for September to be a bearish month for cryptocurrencies. According to Glassnode, their URPD (Unspent Realized Price Distribution) indicator shows significant accumulation of Bitcoin by investors in the $108,000 to $116,000 range, essentially filling a previously existing gap. While this signals positive dip-buying behavior, it doesn’t eliminate the possibility of further selling pressure.
