A Casascius physical Bitcoin was redeemed this week from an address created November 1, 2011. The transaction revived a dormant wallet tied to the New York Supreme Court case Noah Doe v. John Does 1–39,069. It's the first activity from the wallet in over a decade.
The 2011 Address Moves
Onchain records confirm the wallet hadn't moved funds since its creation. The redemption of the physical Bitcoin token triggered the first transaction in 15 years. Blockchain trackers noted the sudden activity immediately.

Public Record Update

What Happens Now
The court will review the new transaction as part of its ongoing proceedings. No hearings are scheduled for this specific development. The wallet's owner hasn't been identified in public filings.
The transaction is now part of the public blockchain ledger, available for review in the case.
