Data: The number of Bitcoin dormant for over 7 years that has woken up this year has reached a new all-time high.

BlockBeats News, October 24th, according to CryptoQuant data, in 2025, a large-scale "awakening" of Bitcoin that has been dormant for over 7 years has begun. As of October, the circulating supply has exceeded that of the entire previous year, with two months left in the current year. Specific data is as follows:

• 2023: 59,000 BTC;

• 2024: 255,000 BTC;

• 2025: 270,000 BTC (historical high).

Analysts suggest three possible reasons for this:

Normal transfer by old miners.

Security upgrade, moving to new cold wallets.

Sustained high prices leading to some profit-taking.

Lastly, the analysis concludes that at the current rate, the circulating supply of 7-year-old or older coins is highly likely to surpass 300,000 BTC for the full year.
