Long-term Holders Move 1,500 BTC Amid Stagnant Price

Bitcoin's long-term holders, also known as 'OGs,' have seen their transaction activity surge by 56% since May. According to data from CryptoQuant, a total of 1,500 BTC has left dormant wallets in the last 90 days. This trend is taking place while Bitcoin's price remains stagnant near $80,000.

The increased wallet usage among veteran holders often raises concerns about potential selling pressure, but analysts caution against assuming all such movements are sales. Some transactions may represent shifting assets to more secure storage following security incidents, rather than liquidations.

A recent blockchain data showed that six ancient wallets moved 553.59 BTC valued at $40.15 million over a 10-day period in August. These wallets had not been active in 12 to 15 years prior to these transactions. Five of these wallets transferred funds to unknown private wallets, while one sent 40 BTC to Boerse Stuttgart Digital.
