Bitcoin Wallet from 2014 Transfers $44 Million in BTC

An inactive bitcoin wallet that hadn't been used for over a decade transferred its entire stack of 687.33 BTC, worth over $44 million, early this morning. The wallet originally received the bitcoins in 2014 when the price of one bitcoin was $917. The reason for the transfer and the identity of the wallet's owner are unknown. This transfer follows other notable bitcoin movements, including a $6 billion transfer from the fifth richest address on the Bitcoin blockchain in March, the consolidation of $140 million in bitcoins mined in 2010 into a single wallet, and the awakening of nearly 50,000 dormant bitcoins in January. Additionally, someone lost approximately $71 million worth of wrapped bitcoins on the Ethereum blockchain in an address poisoning attack. The current price of bitcoin is $64,269.
