Galaxy Research monitored that a physical Casascius Bitcoin minted between 2011 and 2013 (denomination of 25 BTC, approximately 1.78 million USD) had its private key extracted and completed an on-chain withdrawal.It is reported that Casascius Coin is an early physical collectible of Bitcoin, which contains real BTC private keys sealed inside. Holders can extract the assets after peeling off the anti-counterfeiting hologram sticker.

According to CoinDesk, recently, two wallets associated with Casascius physical bitcoins transferred a total of 2,000 bitcoins, worth approximately $180 million, after being dormant for over ten years. These bitcoins had not been used since 2011 and 2012, when the price of bitcoin was less than $15, and now it is close to $90,000.Casascius physical coins were created by Utah entrepreneur Mike Caldwell in 2011 and are tangible collectibles that contain embedded private keys, with denominations ranging from 1 to 1,000 BTC. Each coin comes with a tamper-evident holographic seal to protect the private key underneath. Caldwell ceased production of the pre-funded coins at the end of 2013 after being labeled an unregistered money transmitter by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).The specific purpose of this transfer is unclear; it could be for sale, internal restructuring, or a precautionary measure to preserve access. It may also be related to the degradation of physical components, similar to a report earlier this year from a user claiming to own a 100 BTC Casascius bar who had difficulty importing the key into a modern wallet after peeling off the hologram.

According to Onchain Lens monitoring, after being dormant for over 13 years, two Bitcoin OG wallets transferred 2,000 Bitcoins worth $178.29 million to a new wallet. These Bitcoins were minted by Mike Caldwell between 2011 and 2013 as Casascius physical Bitcoins.
