14.99 OF THE 2013 BITCOIN MOVED — THE ADDRESS SIGNED BESIDE A WALLET IN 915,878 TRANSACTIONS — 456.11 BITCOIN STILL SIT

On Oct. 17, 2026, one transaction in block 971,894 spent 471.10040564 bitcoin from four addresses, two of them untouched since 2013, and paid it to 15 new addresses. For about 30 hours, all 15 sat still. Then at 00:09 UTC on Oct. 19, in block 972,079, one of them spent its coins: 14.987634 bitcoin at an address starting bc1qjd40.

That address has company. The 2013 sender had already swept a 5,554 satoshi leftover into it on Oct. 17. On Oct. 18, in block 972,053, two specks of dust sitting at bc1qjd40 were spent in the same transaction as 0.53001034 bitcoin from bc1quq29, an address that has been in 915,878 transactions and taken in more than 5.16 million bitcoin over its life. A transaction needs a valid signature for every coin it spends. So whoever signs for bc1quq29 also held the key to bc1qjd40, or worked with whoever did.

When the 14.987634 moved, 8.23097826 went to a script address that has been in 5,360 transactions, and 6.7572864 went to bc1quq29. Three hours and 23 minutes later, bc1quq29 spent it again in a batch. That's not how a lone holder sits on coins. It's how a busy wallet runs, the kind a service keeps. The chain doesn't name the service. Either the 2013 holder runs that wallet, or this slice is now under someone else's keys.

The other 14 addresses still hold 456.11268248 bitcoin, unspent as of block 972,183. If they take the same road, it will show up the same way. You don't need a data firm to see it. Any node can count the signatures. At the time of this writing, bitcoin was $81,793.
