Crypto Whales Double Down: Bullish Moves Defy Geopolitical Chaos in 2025

Crypto''s apex predators are feeding again—and they don''t care about your border disputes.

Whales swim against the tide

While retail investors panic-sell over Middle East headlines, blockchain sleuths spot nine-figure Bitcoin accumulations from anonymous wallets. One transaction moved 3,142 BTC ($250M+) like it was a grocery run.

Institutions playing catch-up

Goldman''s latest crypto desk report shows hedge funds now hold 3x more BTC than this time last year. Too bad they bought at $68k and sold at $19k—classic ''smart money'' timing.

Market makers are deploying capital like NATO troops, with stablecoin reserves hitting $42B across exchanges. Someone''s preparing for fireworks.

The cynical take

Of course whales are buying—they need exit liquidity for when the SEC finally approves those Bitcoin ETFs. Enjoy your 18% gains while the OGs cash out at 18,000%.

Investment Patterns of Crypto Whales

Strategy, one of the largest cryptocurrency whales, has consistently increased its BTC holdings over the years. According to recently released documents, the entity acquired 10,100 BTC between June 9-15, bringing its total assets to 592,100 BTC. The latest purchase amounted to $1.05 billion, with an average acquisition cost of $104,080 per BTC.

The projected average return for 2025 now stands at 20%, with an average cost of $70,666 for Strategy’s entire reserves. The cumulative cost of these acquisitions to the company is approximately $41.84 billion.

BTC is trading above $106,800, and Strategy plans to continue its large-scale purchasing. At the time of this writing, TRUMP announced plans to produce and sell phones under his brand. Concurrently, tensions between Israel and Iran have somewhat subsided, with increasing calls for a ceasefire, although it is uncertain whether hostilities will re-escalate. Historically, assaults have concluded by the start of the new workweek, followed by negotiations. If this pattern shifts, we may anticipate reciprocal attacks before the day’s end, akin to those in the past three days.
