A whale who had held onto a Bitcoin fortune for 14 years on Friday started moving the enormous stash of 80,000 BTC—worth $8.6 billion at today's prices.
The coins started moving in batches of 10,000 BTC, or about $1 billion in BTC, early morning New York time on Friday, data from Arkham Intelligence shows. By 11 a.m. Eastern Time, the $8.6 billion in crypto had been shifted to new addresses.
Eagle-eyed blockchain observers were quick to point out on X that the movements came from an entity that had received the coins back in 2011 as "coinbase" transactions—the first transaction in a block created by miners. When miners create new blocks on the blockchain, they are rewarded with newly minted digital coins.
THE FINAL BTC BILLIONAIRE ADDRESS JUST MOVED $1.1 BILLION BTC
A single entity that controls $8.6 BILLION of BTC has moved their final 10K wallet.

CryptoQuant's head of research Julio Moreno told Decrypt: "It is the largest daily movement of coins aged 10 years or more in history." He added that the previous record for a whale that held onto crypto for this long was a transaction of 3,700 BTC, which pales in comparison.
Crypto analyst for CryptoQuant J.A. Maartun wrote on X: "In eight years of analyzing Bitcoin, I've never seen anything like this," noting that the entity linked to the Bitcoin addresses which made transactions on Friday has over the years held about 200,000 BTC at one point.
Conor Grogan, the director of America's biggest crypto exchange Coinbase, posted on X that the entity linked to the addresses had a fortune of $21.5 billion—making them one of the top five largest holders of Bitcoin in crypto history.
Grogan added that if he had to guess, the Bitcoin wallet likely belongs to an "OG miner," meaning someone who was very early to mining BTC on the network.
The biggest holders of Bitcoin can’t get enough of the stuff. According to new research from crypto data firm CryptoQuant, “demand growth” from whales has never been stronger. That means that the investors holding the most Bitcoin (BTC) want even more of the orange coin than ever before. Bitcoin whales are investors who hoard huge amounts of Bitcoin (at least 1,000 BTC, or at least $69 million at today’s price) and don’t touch it for years. Such investors make large gains as a result—although...
In the world of crypto, a whale is someone who holds a large amount of digital coins and tokens. A Bitcoin whale is usually defined by an entity that holds 1,000 BTC—worth $108 million at today's prices—or more.
Experts previously told Decrypt that although difficult to tell, whales are not always individual investors but also companies that got involved in mining crypto early. Though, given that the stash of coins moving today were acquired years before the industrial Bitcoin mining age, it's anyone's guess as to whether the holdings belong to a single person or group.
Bitcoin was recently trading for $107,895 per coin, according to CoinGecko, after dropping by nearly 2% over a 24-hour period. The leading cryptocurrency is about 4% down from the record high of $111,814 it set in May.
When whales start moving their coins after years of "HODLing," markets tend to move as investors expect imminent selling and therefore downward price action.
Ripple co-founder and Executive Chairman Chris Larsen has moved $26 million in XRP—the cryptocurrency he helped create—over to Coinbase, blockchain data shows. XRP, the third-biggest cryptocurrency by market cap, was recently trading for $3.35, just 2% below its 2018 all-time high mark of $3.40, according to data from crypto data provider CoinGecko. Over the past seven days, the asset has shot up in value by 34%, hitting its highest price since January. Ripple's press office didn't respond to...
Pseudonymous Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto is now the 11th richest person in the world, as the inventor's BTC portfolio—based on wallets tied to the long-silent crypto icon—has risen above $130 billion, according to Arkham Intelligence. It comes as the leading cryptocurrency has hit a spree of new all-time highs, rising by 14% over the past month. That puts the elusive figure’s net worth above that of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, who is worth $117 billion, and Dell Technologies founder Mi...
An Australian man is attempting to break the world record for the “most tattoos of the same name,” while livestreaming the journey on Solana meme coin platform Pump.fun. What name is he tattooing on himself? Pump.fun, of course. The 27-year-old told Decrypt that the world record attempt is part of a broader plan to become a full-time livestreamer with a “virtual tattoo studio.” Zachary Gollan, also known as Donnie Darko on X, has tattooed “Pump.fun” on his arm 415 times as of Thursday morning,...
