Two Bitcoin (BTC) wallets inactive for about 13 years hold 1,346 BTC valued at roughly $115 million, after sending a small test transaction that does not establish whether the holders plan to sell.

The wallets sent 0.0005 BTC, worth about $43. The 1,346 BTC holdings were acquired at a reported price of $178 per bitcoin, when they were worth about $240,000. Their estimated value is now about 479 times that amount.

The test transfer may reflect wallet management or preparation for a sale. The transaction alone does not establish that any of the holdings have been sold.
