Bitcoin Dormant Wallets Move $7.6 Billion in 2026, but Selling Pressure Eases

On-chain data reveals that approximately 103,914 BTC, worth $7.6 billion and dormant for 5 to 15 years, have returned to circulation in 2026. The most active segment involves coins dormant for 8 to 10 years. Despite notable movements from wallets inactive for over 15 years, recent trends show a decline in activity. Galaxy analyst Thorn noted that dormant coin movement in Q2 2026 hit a four-year low, with total annual selling projected to be less than half of 2025 levels.
