100 Bitcoins that were mined back in June 2010 have moved for the first time today, according to Blockchair data. At the time of writing, they are worth roughly $5 million.

As reported by U.Today, 50 BTC from as early as February 2009 moved for the first time last May, with rumors about Satoshi's return triggering a brief market sell-off.
