Seven years of silence — then suddenly, the Bitcoin giants begin to stir. Not long ago, we tracked a Bitcoin OG who received 100,784 BTC ($642M) years back. After years of dormancy, he broke the silence — selling BTC, scooping up 62,914 ETH ($267M) spot, and opening a jaw-dropping 135,265 ETH ($577M) long.
Now, the story continues. Another OG wallet that received 85,947 BTC ($547M) around the same time has just appeared, depositing BTC into Hyperliquid and showing the exact same trading pattern — selling BTC to rotate into ETH.
On-chain analysis suggests it’s likely the same whale. Across six identified wallets, this entity still controls a colossal 83,585 BTC ($9.42B) — and is now steadily shifting into Ethereum.

The big question is:
👉 Is this just profit-taking from old $BTC holdings?
👉 Or the beginning of a massive Bitcoin-to-Ethereum rotation by the whales who shaped crypto’s early history?
