DORMANT WHALE MOVES: 4,500 BTC TRANSFERRED TO GALAXY DIGITAL
– $537M in Bitcoin moved from 2011-era wallet
– Address tied to dormant “80K $BTC whale” still holds $1.85B
At 9:42 AM (UTC+8), on-chain trackers flagged a major transaction: 4,500 BTC (≈$537 million) were sent from the address bc1q…tjty to Galaxy Digital. This wallet is linked to the legendary “80K BTC whale,” a stash believed to belong to a solo miner from 2011, as noted by Coinbase’s Conor Grogan.
Despite today’s massive transfer, the address retains 15,500 $BTC —valued at roughly $1.85 billion—making it one of the largest and oldest BTC holders still active.
This movement could hint at strategic institutional dealings—or signal early miners re-entering the game.
