Is it possible to check a Bitcoin address balance from last year?

Hey all I’ve got this Bitcoin address, and I can see its current balance. But I’m curious if there’s a way to find out how much was in there last year on June 6, 2023. Is that even possible?

Try downloading Electrum wallet, import the address there, and check the history tab. Or you can also use block explorers like blockchair.com or blockchain.com for that.

Also, don’t forget about mempool.space. It has a balance history chart for any address, which can make it pretty straightforward to see the balance at any time.

Yeah, if you’re using Electrum, there’s a feature to filter the dates. You can pull a summary of what the balance was back then. Just enable the date filter.

Not sure how you’ve used the wallet before, but if it’s a cold wallet, there’s no need to import the private key. Just check the address as a watch-only wallet to avoid risk.

Lol, ignore my last post. I meant to say paste the address, not the private key. Just set up a watch-only wallet.

Honestly, you don't need to complicate things too much. Just use a block explorer like mempool.space or blockchair.com. You can search the address and see the timestamps for each transaction.

BitInfoCharts.com is cool for looking back at Bitcoin balances and transactions. They provide historical data and charts, even if you can't pinpoint an exact balance on a specific date. You can track transactions in and out of an address.

There are basically two ways to check the wallet balance. If you have the seed phrase or private keys, you can access the wallet directly. Otherwise, just paste the address into a block explorer.

I can check the balance from May 30, 2023, or later. This way, you can look at the address locally without depending on a block explorer.

For privacy, it’s better to check your balance using your own wallet. A VPN or Tor can help, plus running a full node is best. Using block explorers means trusting them with your data, which isn’t ideal.

Like I mentioned before, OP just needs the address, no need for seed phrases or private keys. Just import the address into any wallet or explorer. True, using your own full node is the best for privacy, but it requires a lot of data to download.
