Satoshi-Era Whale Dumps 9,000 BTC for $1B+ Amid Bitcoin’s Slide Below $117K
Satoshi-Era Whale Dumps 9,000 BTC for $1B+ Amid Bitcoin’s Slide Below $117K

Bitcoin's old guard cashes out—hard. A single whale from crypto's primordial era just unloaded 9,000 BTC, netting over $1 billion as prices wobble below $117K. The move sends tremors through markets already jittery about institutional overexposure.
Timing is everything—or is it greed?
While 'HODL' remains retail's battle cry, this whale chose chaos. The sell-off coincides with Bitcoin's 14% monthly drop, sparking debates: strategic exit or loss of faith? Meanwhile, Wall Street's Bitcoin ETFs now hold more BTC than Satoshi himself—irony tastes like overpriced coffee.
One thing's clear: when OG whales move, the ocean gets rough. And somewhere in Bermuda, a hedge fund manager just ordered another gold-plated yacht—'diversification,' darling.
