The owner remains unidentified, leaving intent unclear.

Bitcoin address from miner era reactivates to shift 400 BTC - Report
Long dormant bitcoin whale awakens, moves $45.6m in btc after nearly 12 years

Overview

  • The address 1ArUG…zwaWT sent about 400 BTC in roughly 15 BTC increments to multiple destinations, effectively emptying the wallet.
  • Arkham Intelligence and Lookonchain documented the activity and linked the stash to miner-era funding from roughly 15 years ago, worth about $44 million at current prices.
  • Coin Days Destroyed spiked briefly, while monthly CDD fell to around 650,000 from above 1.3 million and SOPR hovered near 1.005, pointing to subdued realized profits.
  • Bitcoin traded near $112,100 with a small 24‑hour decline as indicators showed overbought conditions, according to the reported metrics.
  • The transfer extends a 2025 pattern of long-dormant addresses reawakening, including a 1,000 BTC move on September 17 and a major BTC‑to‑ETH swap on September 15.
