đ˘Key Details from the Whale Movement Report:
⢠Event Date/Time:
15:50, July 4, 2025
⢠Entities Involved:
A 14-year-old whale wallet, also called a âfossil handâ, believed to have held Bitcoin since around 2011.
⢠BTC Transferred:
40,000 BTC
⢠Transferred in batches
⢠Distributed to 4 new wallet addresses
⢠Completed within 30 minutes
⢠USD Value of Transfer:
Approximately $545 million USD based on current BTC prices (~$13,625 per BTC in this transfer â notably lower than market price, possibly due to internal valuation or cold storage movement).
⢠Total BTC Controlled:
⢠At least 80,009 BTC confirmed
⢠Three more inactive addresses associated with the same entity, likely containing tens of thousands of BTC
⢠Monitoring Source:
Blockchain activity was tracked by @ai_9684xtpa (likely an AI-based blockchain analytics bot or service).
đ What This Implies:
1. Major Whale Awakening:
⢠After 14 years of dormancy, this wallet becoming active is significant.
⢠These kinds of movements often spark speculation about selling, security shifts, or internal restructuring.
2. Possible Reasons for Transfer:
⢠Moving to new, more secure addresses
⢠OTC (Over-the-Counter) sale preparations
⢠Exchange deposit preparations
⢠Internal reshuffling (estate planning, institutional changes)
3. Market Impact:
⢠Large transfers can create short-term volatility, especially if traders fear dumping.
⢠However, the move to multiple addresses rather than an exchange suggests storage, not liquidation.
4. Valuation Discrepancy:
⢠$545 million for 40,000 BTC implies $13,625/BTC â far lower than the reported July 4, 2025 price of $108,100/BTC.
This discrepancy could be due to:
⢠Typo in reporting
⢠Movement of partial BTC amounts or misreported USD value
⢠Transfers done at an earlier price
⢠Valuation based on older price tracking (unlikely but possible)
