The Satoshi-era Bitcoin whale has once again drawn attention to the cryptocurrency market by executing a significant transfer of 20,000 BTC during the Bitcoin price surge.
Overview of the BTC Transfer
The whale transferred 20,000 BTC on July 14, 2025, coinciding with Bitcoin hitting a new all-time high of $123,000. This transfer follows the notable earlier transfer of 80,000 BTC from the same wallet.
The Whale's History and Its Significance
Data indicates that the transferred coins were originally mined or received in 2010, reflecting an astronomical gain exceeding 3,024,900% per Bitcoin. The activation of the wallet suggests that Bitcoin continues to gain traction among investors.
Speculations Regarding Ownership
Although the true identity of the whale remains unclear, some speculate that it may be operated by a single entity or even Satoshi Nakamoto. The latest transfers were conducted in two transactions of 10,000 BTC each, further supporting the theory of single ownership.
The actions of the Bitcoin whale continue to generate interest and speculation in the market, leaving open questions about the holder's strategy and the future of cryptocurrency.
