Who Is Owen Gunden? The Mysterious Bitcoin Whale Who Just Dumped $1.3B
Owen Gunden is one of Bitcoin’s earliest and most enigmatic whales — a figure largely unknown to the public until his recent $1.3 billion exit lit up on-chain dashboards. He began his crypto journey in the early 2010s as an arbitrage trader, moving tens of thousands of BTC across early exchanges like Mt. Gox to capitalize on price gaps. While others dismissed Bitcoin as a novelty, Gunden quietly amassed a fortune in digital gold.
He didn’t stop there. Gunden later served on the board of LedgerX, the first CFTC-regulated Bitcoin derivatives exchange in the U.S., and parked coins in crypto lending platforms like BlockFi and Genesis. After both went bankrupt, court filings revealed he recovered over 600 BTC. Still, Gunden maintained a remarkably low profile — his X (formerly Twitter) account has been silent since 2018, adding to the mystique of a whale who operated in the shadows until the day he offloaded it all.
In one of the most attention-grabbing moves of the year, early Bitcoin whale Owen Gunden has officially exited the market — and he did it in a spectacular way. Over the span of a few weeks, Gunden liquidated approximately 11,000 BTC, worth an estimated $1.3 billion, according to blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence. The final piece of the puzzle? A 2,499 BTC transfer (around $228 million) to Kraken, marking the completion of a massive sell-off that spanned late October through November 2025. The scale of this exit, both in value and timing, immediately caught the eye of analysts and traders alike, stirring debate about its impact on market sentiment.
What makes the story even more compelling is that few in the crypto community had ever heard of Owen Gunden before this move. A known but quiet figure among early adopters, Gunden had held this Bitcoin stash for over a decade. His sudden reappearance — only to offload his entire holdings — feels like the end of an era. But it also raises a bigger question: are long-term holders quietly handing the reins to institutions? Gunden's departure may not just be a footnote in Bitcoin’s history; it could be a sign of the shifting dynamics in the crypto market, from OG whales to ETF-driven Wall Street players.
