Galaxy Shatters Records with Historic Bitcoin Mega-Transaction

Wall Street's crypto whales just flexed hard—again.

Galaxy Digital executes a jaw-dropping Bitcoin transfer, moving enough BTC to make a small nation's treasury blush. The transaction size? Let's just say it required extra-strength blockchain aspirin.

Why this matters

When institutional players throw this much weight around, markets ripple. Liquidity shifts. And somewhere in Miami, a degenerate leverage trader just felt a disturbance in the Force.

The cynical take

Another day, another nine-figure crypto play by bankers who once called Bitcoin 'a fraud'—before realizing they could front-run retail investors with better data centers.

Galaxy Digital Inc., a global leader in digital assets and data center infrastructure, announced the successful execution of one of the largest notional Bitcoin transactions in the history of crypto on behalf of a client.

Galaxy completed the sale of more than 80,000 bitcoin—valued at over $9 billion based on current market prices—for a Satoshi-era investor, representing one of the earliest and most significant exits from the digital asset market.

The transaction was part of the investor’s broader estate planning strategy.
