#MyStrategyEvolution Who is he really — did Satoshi just wake up? 🪙

Let’s start with this: this person moved Bitcoins from all 8 of their wallets — 80,000 BTC worth $8.69 billion.

According to Arkham, this is likely an “address upgrade” rather than a sale, since all the original addresses started with “1…” (Legacy, P2PKH) and the new recipients are “bc1q…” (Native SegWit, bech32).

📝 And then the theories started pouring in. I’ve gathered all the hottest takes from Twitter and Telegram about who this whale might be. Here they are:

* “The creator himself moved” → Maybe Satoshi Nakamoto decided to activate his old stash, either to test the system or as a hint of his return.

* Roger Ver posted bail → “Bitcoin Jesus” could have used his 2011 coins to cover debts after recent legal troubles.

* Tribute to Len Sassaman → The transfer might honor cryptographer Len Sassaman’s death anniversary, done by his loved ones or the community.

* Quantum hack → Someone could have cracked 2011-era keys with quantum computing, testing BTC after BCH experiments.

* US strategic reserve → The US Treasury might be consolidating seized BTC into new SegWit addresses as part of a secret plan.

* OG miner’s inheritance → After the death of an early miner, their family could be moving 80,000 BTC to SegWit addresses for asset management.

* A celebratory salute → The movement might be a symbolic gesture for US Independence Day on July 4th — a “financial fireworks” display.

* The Mt.Gox 80,000 BTC → These could be stolen Mt.Gox assets from 2011, recently unfrozen and prepped for cashing out.

* Internal exchange/custodian rebalancing → A major custodian might have upgraded their cold wallets, shifting BTC to new addresses for security.

* Collateral for spot ETF → The whale could be preparing a BTC package as collateral for spot ETFs, attracting institutions.

* Derivatives game → The whale may be trying to “scare” the market before options and futures expiration for speculative gain.
