Whale Watch: Satoshi-Era Bitcoin Giant Makes Another $2.42 Billion Splash!

by

So, just a week after the Satoshi-era Bitcoin whale made waves with an $8.6 billion BTC transfer, guess who’s back for an encore? 🐳 Yes, you guessed it—our favorite crypto whale is at it again, moving thousands of BTC tokens, according to the latest data from Lookonchain. Because why not, right?

The same wallet that previously moved 80,000 BTC in a matter of hours has now transferred a whopping 20,000 BTC on July 14, just as Bitcoin was hitting a new all-time high of $123,000. Talk about timing! 🕒

Ancient Bitcoin Whale Shows Up Again

This move has definitely raised some eyebrows in the crypto community. It’s like the crypto equivalent of finding a dusty old treasure chest in your attic and realizing it’s filled with gold. But instead of gold, it’s Bitcoin, and instead of an attic, it’s a digital wallet. 🏦

Data shows that these coins were originally mined or received back in 2010, making them some of the oldest Bitcoin holdings in existence. That’s a gain of over 3,024,900% per Bitcoin held. Talk about a good investment! 📈

While on-chain trackers couldn’t pinpoint the exact identity of the whale—awakened on July 4th, 2025, after 14 years of dormancy—there’s plenty of speculation. Some say it could be Bitcoin’s mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, or someone close to them. Others just think it’s a really old, really rich crypto OG. 🤷‍♂️

The wallet’s consistent and coordinated strategy in moving large amounts of BTC in batches of 10,000 further supports the theory of single ownership. The latest transfer also took place via two separate transactions, each carrying 10,000 BTC. Because why do one big transfer when you can do two smaller ones and keep everyone guessing? 🤔

With Bitcoin’s price soaring during the ongoing market rally, the 20,000 BTC transferred by the whale was worth a massive $2.42 billion. This has sparked fresh debate among market participants. Some are calling it a sign of the times, while others are just trying to figure out if they missed the boat. 🚤

While the true reason behind these 10,000 BTC transfers remains a mystery, some speculate that the wallet holder—likely an early investor or Bitcoin OG—may be repositioning their holdings. Given that this activity comes as Bitcoin continues to break records during a major crypto bull run, it seems the whale might be either preparing to take profits or simply moving the stash to newer, more secure wallets. 🏦🔒
