Bitcoin Whale Moves $85M After 13 Years

Published by

A Bitcoin whale that had remained inactive for 13 years has moved 909.38 BTC, worth approximately $84.62 million, to a new wallet, according to on-chain analytics. These coins were originally purchased for under $7 each, resulting in a staggering 13,900× increase in value. The transfer was not sent directly to an exchange, indicating the holder may be positioning rather than selling. Analysts highlight this as a rare window into early adopter behavior and long-term holding strategies in the crypto market.
