Long-time whale holding coins for 13 years "clears out holdings," transferring a total of 909 Bitcoins in one go

While the cryptocurrency market is watching the US-Europe trade conflict with bated breath, a Bitcoin wallet that has been dormant for over 13 years and traces back to the “Satoshi Era” suddenly transferred approximately $84.6 million worth of Bitcoin, emptying all holdings and drawing intense market attention. According to Arkham Intelligence tracking, the original wallet address “1A2hq…pZGZm” transferred 909.38 Bitcoins to a new address “bc1qk…sxaeh” in a single transaction on Monday.

On-chain records show that these Bitcoins were gradually accumulated between December 2012 and April 2013, when Bitcoin was still in its very early stages, with prices as low as about $13 and as high as around $250. Even at the highest price at that time, the initial cost of this fund was only about $220,000, which has now skyrocketed nearly 385 times, once again demonstrating the incredible resilience of “diamond hands.” This is not the only recent case of a whale awakening. During Bitcoin’s surge last year, multiple wallets from the “Satoshi Era” appeared one after another, transferring long-dormant Bitcoins. The market generally interprets this as long-term investors taking profits. The most representative case is in July 2025, when another super whale sold over 80,000 Bitcoins through Galaxy Digital, realizing a profit of about $9 billion. It is worth noting that this large transfer occurred at a relatively sensitive time in the market. The Trump (Donald Trump) administration in the United States announced tariffs of 10% to 25% on Denmark and seven other countries due to the “Greenland Purchase” dispute, which faced opposition from the European Union.
