"A group of Bitcoin wallets dormant since 2014 has transferred 1,214.42 BTC worth about $86 million as the cryptocurrency traded near a weekly high of $72,400. Most of the 2014 transactions sent funds from Pay-to-Public-Key-Hash, or P2PKH, addresses to Pay-to-Witness-Public-Key-Hash addresses known as P2WPKH."
