About this metric
What it measures
Revived Supply 5+ Years measures the BTC spent each day from outputs left unmoved for at least five years. It is a BTC flow from a long-dormant subset of supply, not the balance of all coins older than five years.
How to read it
A high reading flags an unusual release of very old supply, while low values show that few five-year coins moved that day. The recorded maximum was about 142,345 BTC on May 28, 2024, versus a full-history median near 47 BTC. Because this is a sparse series, a single large transfer can dwarf its typical daily level.
Five years of inactivity is not proof of lost keys, and reactivation does not establish an exchange deposit or sale. Compare any spike with transaction destinations and broader revival thresholds. The full-history median includes years when no coin could meet the age requirement, so it understates a typical level for the mature network.

FAQ
Do five-year-old coins moving prove lost bitcoins were recovered?
No. The coins may have remained under active control throughout their dormant period. A transfer only proves that those outputs were spendable when they moved.
Why can the five-year revival chart have such large spikes?
Most days involve little qualifying activity, but a single large old holding can move at once. The May 28, 2024 reading reached about 142,345 BTC; its size alone does not establish the transfer's purpose.
Why is the five-year series zero before 2014?
Bitcoin began in January 2009, so coins could not have spent five years dormant before 2014. Those initial zeros follow from the age threshold rather than from observed reluctance to spend.
