Satoshi's Bitcoin Whale Wakes Up After 14 Years: Will It Impact the BTC Price?
A Satoshi-era Bitcoin wallet that mined 4,000 BTC in 2009 has just moved 150 BTC ($16 million) after 14 years of dormancy.
The transfer comes as Bitcoin is stabilizing near $110,000, making markets sensitive to whale movements.
Analysts say the move is likely a portfolio reorganization, not a selloff—the effect is psychological, not fundamental.
Why Timing Matters
The move comes as Bitcoin is trading around $110,000, rallying after a sharp drop from its all-time high above $126,000 earlier this month.
The market is recovering from the largest liquidation event in cryptocurrency history, in which $19 billion was wiped out via leveraged positions.
Sentiment remains fragile. Any sign of potential selling pressure—especially from long-dormant wallets—could amplify caution.
However, the 150 BTC transfer represents a tiny fraction of Bitcoin's daily trading volume, which exceeds $20 billion, making the market impact largely psychological.
