For over a year, a strange wallet kept buying exactly 100 BTC at a time โ again and again โ no matter the price.
People started calling it โMr. 100โ, and the entire crypto world was watching.
โ It All Began in 2022
On-chain trackers noticed a weird pattern:
A wallet buying 100 BTC regularly, sometimes even multiple times a day.
By 2025, it had collected over 57,000 BTC (worth more than $6 billion) โ making it one of the top 20 Bitcoin holders globally.
๐ง Theories About Mr. 100
Crypto sleuths guessed it could be:
A Middle Eastern sovereign fund
A super-rich investor hedging against inflation
A big Asian bank or institution
Or even a crypto exchange cold wallet
๐ Truth Revealed: Itโs Upbit!
In 2024, Arkham Intelligence solved the mystery:
โMr. 100โ is actually a cold wallet from Upbit, a top crypto exchange in South Korea.
It wasnโt a secret whale โ just Upbit moving user funds into safe storage.
They regularly moved 100 BTC to organize their wallets โ thatโs all.
๐ Why Mr. 100 Still Matters
Even if it wasnโt a real investor, this story taught us a lot:
โ๏ธ Blockchain = Transparency
โ๏ธ Looks Can Be Misleading
โ๏ธ Regular BTC Buys Inspired DCA Investors
โ๏ธ Exchanges Are Huge BTC Holders

Even though we now know itโs just Upbit, the legend lives on.
Because in crypto, even a wallet address can become a myth.
