Historic Bitcoin Shakeup: 8 Mystery Wallets Move 80,000 BTC in Largest Satoshi-Era Transaction Spree

Bitcoin's ancient whales are stirring—and they're moving mountains of dormant coins.

The big move: Eight previously idle wallets just shifted 80,000 BTC (worth ~$4.8B at current prices) in coordinated transfers that shattered all Satoshi-era records. These digital vaults hadn't budged since Bitcoin's pizza-and-pocket-change days.

Why it matters: When OG holders make moves this big, markets pay attention. Either someone's cashing out at near-ATH prices—or preparing for something bigger. (Cue the 'institutional adoption' hopium.)

The cynical take: Wall Street's still trying to short Bitcoin while these anonymous whales prove, yet again, that the real power never sits on a trading floor.

One thing's certain: When Satoshi's early adopters wake up, the crypto world feels the earthquake.
