What CoinDesk reports

A bitcoin wallet dormant since 2013 moved 411 BTC, now worth about $34 million. It is one of several long-dormant wallets to wake up recently.
02 / Why it matters

Decrypt has also published a related report, providing another attributed account to compare without treating repetition as proof.
