#VIRTUALWhale The term "whales" refers to investors who are large holders of digital assets. For example, they include the car manufacturer Tesla, which owns 43 thousand bitcoins worth $1.7 billion, as well as the software manufacturer MicroStrategy, which owns 92 thousand digital coins worth $3.7 billion at the current rate at 13:40 Moscow time.

The actions of "whales" can often lead to various events in the crypto market. The recent collapse of the Bitcoin price to $30 thousand occurred against the background of the fact that a rumor was spreading on Twitter about the sale of digital coins by Tesla. Later, Tesla CEO Elon Musk denied this information and said that the company has not sold a single digital coin since March of this year, when it recorded a profit in cryptocurrency of $101 million.
