After 14 years, Bitcoin addresses from the Satoshi Nakamoto era have shown activity, and some dormant wallets may still be controlled by their original owners

According to CoinDesk, an address from the "Satoshi era" that has never been used since March 2011, holding 35.55 bitcoins (approximately $2.54 million), made a transfer this week, which is seen as one of the first publicly visible responses from defendants in a lawsuit involving approximately 3.8 million bitcoins (valued at about $285 billion) in New York.On-chain data shows that the address transferred 15 BTC to a new address on June 2, keeping the remaining 20.55 BTC as change. The address initially received bitcoins on March 27, 2011, when the price of BTC was less than $1.In March of this year, a plaintiff using the pseudonym "Noah Doe" filed a lawsuit in New York state court alongside two LLCs from Wyoming, attempting to claim ownership of approximately 3.8 million long-dormant bitcoin wallets under New York's lost property law, positioning themselves as the "discoverer." The court approved sending on-chain notifications to the relevant wallets via the bitcoin OP_RETURN field.In July 2025, the advisory firm Salomon Brothers Strategic Advisors sent dust transactions with links to legal notices to 39,000 wallets, including the aforementioned address, requesting holders to prove ownership within 90 days.Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Research, pointed out that the address corresponds to defendant number 38215 in the case, stating, "Clearly, these bitcoins have not actually been abandoned."Additionally, another address that had been dormant for 15 years, 1CDSyXAQxro4FPUoqAQb81642ruqDsUiNp, also transferred 20 BTC (approximately $1.48 million) on the same day, but this address did not appear on Noah Doe's list of lawsuits.Analysis suggests that the on-chain movements mentioned above indicate that some bitcoins from the Satoshi era, considered "abandoned assets," are actually still under the control of the original holders.

Tom Lee: The bear market for tech giants is over, but other sectors may face a "rolling bear market."

Fundstrat's research director Tom Lee stated that although the "Tech Seven" have emerged from the downturn, the overall market risks have not been alleviated, and other sectors may gradually enter a "rolling bear market" later in 2026.He believes that the demand for AI remains strong, which will support the major indices in maintaining resilience by the end of the year, but internal market differentiation will intensify. In an interview with CNBC, he said, "The bear market for the Tech Seven and the software sector has ended," but emphasized that this does not represent the overall market.Lee pointed out three potential disruptive factors: fluctuations in the midterm election cycle, selling pressure after the lock-up period for tech company IPOs expires, and tight energy supply. Among these, he views energy as the most direct risk, warning that "the moment of reckoning is approaching: there is a shortage of oil product inventories that cannot be alleviated in the short term," and companies reliant on energy will be under pressure.He remains optimistic about the core support of the U.S. economy—energy independence and improved AI productivity—advising investors to focus on areas with strong earnings certainty, stating that "the companies that truly strengthen are those that control scarce resources." He mentioned that the semiconductor sector has shown signs of overheating, but in the short term, capital momentum still leans towards AI suppliers and tech leaders, while other industries may gradually enter an adjustment phase.
