An unidentified Bitcoin whale has suddenly become active in the last 24 hours, significantly boosting its cryptocurrency holdings.

Sharp Increase in Holdings

According to Arkham Intelligence data, the unknown whale increased its Bitcoin holdings to 12,131 BTC. The wallet first appeared on radar two weeks ago when it received 16.87 BTC, equivalent to $1.01 million. Over the next eight days, the whale received an additional 176.616 BTC, valued at about $10.63 million. However, over the last 24 hours, activity surged, bringing the total holdings to $770.49 million.

Source of Funds

The address from which the funds were received also contains a significant amount of Bitcoin—11,477 BTC, equivalent to $728.92 million. Interestingly, the first address that sent funds to 'bc1qmpn' received its initial BTC from a wallet that is presumed to belong to Fortress Trust, a crypto custodian and trustee.

Potential Link to Fortress Trust

Despite the link to the Fortress Trust wallet, it cannot be confirmed that this massive amount of Bitcoin belongs to the company. It is possible that the funds belong to one of the trustee’s clients.

The unknown Bitcoin whale continues to accumulate, sparking interest and discussion within the crypto community. The exact origin of the funds remains a topic of speculation.
