10-Year-Old Bitcoin Whales Move $325M—Just Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

Two dormant wallets from the early Bitcoin days suddenly moved a combined $325M in BTC—right before the Fed’s upcoming rate call. Timing? Suspicious.

Here’s the breakdown:

One whale sent 2,343 $BTC (~$222.2M) to a new wallet after 10.5 years of silence. Originally bought in July 2013 for just $185K (avg. $85/BTC).

Another moved 1,079 BTC (~$102.5M) after being inactive for over 11 years. Entry price? Around $91K total.

Nobody knows why they moved—recovered access, ownership change, or prepping to sell?

What makes it interesting:

The Fed announces its rate decision on May 7. The consensus? They’ll likely hold steady at 4.25%–4.50%, but the broader economic backdrop (including new U.S. tariffs) keeps things uncertain.
