The crypto community’s attention has been drawn to a Bitcoin whale
who recently moved a huge portion of their BTC holdings across
different wallets. This action has sparked the curiosity of those
in the community about the reason for these transactions.

Arkham Intelligence first brought this occurrence to the
community’s attention when it mentioned in an X (formerly Twitter)
post that the Bitcoin address (37XuVSE) had moved over $6 billion
in BTC to three new addresses. Related Reading: Ripple CEO
Responds To SEC’s Shocking $2 Billion Demand As part of the
transactions, $5.03 billion worth of BTC was sent to one of these
addresses (bc1q8yj), while the two other addresses (bc1q6m5 and
bc1q592) received $561.46 million and $488.40 million worth of BTC
respectively. Arkham added that one of the wallets (bc1q592) has
since then proceeded to transfer the received funds to another
wallet. Notably, the wallet which moved $6 billion in BTC was
before now the fifth richest Bitcoin address having held over
94,500 BTC in its wallet. As of now, it still holds 1.31 BTC in the
wallet in question. Interestingly, before now, this address was
dormant as it had not moved any of this BTC which it received since
2019. Transactions of such magnitude are always sure to cause
a stir in the crypto community, considering the impact such whales
can have on the market. Usually, a move like this can cause
community members to speculate that the whale may be looking to
offload their tokens and take profits. However, the fact that these
transactions weren’t made to exchange-linked wallets has quelled
such speculations. Another BTC Whale On The Rise Bitcoinist
recently reported on BlackRock’s Bitcoin wallet, which has
continued to accumulate Bitcoin at an astonishing rate due to the
impressive demand for its iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT). Despite
just launching this ETF in mid-January 2024, BlackRock now holds
243,126 BTC for the fund. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst

BTC holdings has seen it rise to becoming one of the largest
corporate BTC holders, only behind centralized exchanges Binance,
Bitfinex, and Coinbase and fellow Bitcoin ETF issuer Grayscale. A
sustained demand for the IBIT ETF could however see BlackRock
surpass these entities at some point. That is also something
that could reflect positively on Bitcoin’s price seeing as how
instituitional demand for the flagship crypto has helped propel it
to new highs. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at
around $70,500, up in the last 24 hours according to data from
CoinMarketCap. BTC price recovers above $71,000 | Source: BTCUSD on
