While poking around BitInfoCharts's Richest Bitcoin Addresses list, I noticed that a lot of the dormant accounts have received payments on the order of about USD 0.05 in the past year.

If this is some kind of tracking scheme, who would be willing to spend money to track so many accounts?
An example of what I mean is here:

Note the original large spend in 2011, and the later spend of 0.000888 in October 2018. There are bunches and bunches and bunches of addresses with only two spends in that follow this pattern.
Can anyone explain what is going on here?

[And, no, this is not my Bitcoin address. I noticed this while conducting research for a client.]
