A long-dormant Bitcoin whale has suddenly risen from the shadows, moving a staggering 40,000 BTC (worth around $4.35 billion) after more than 14 years of inactivity.
The anonymous holder, considered a Bitcoin OG, controls eight wallets holding a combined 80,009 BTC (currently valued at over $8.6 billion).
Earlier today, four of those wallets initiated transfers, moving 40,000 BTC.
The remaining four were left untouched.
That was up until the last 2-3 hours, where the remaining 40,009 BTC was moved too!
Here’s everything we know so far.
Origins of the OG Wallets
The whale’s holdings date back to the early days of Bitcoin:
- April 2, 2011: Two wallets received 20,000 BTC when the price of Bitcoin was just $0.78 (a total value of only $15,600 at the time). Today, it’s worth approximately $2.18 billion.
- May 4, 2011: Six more wallets received 60,009 BTC when Bitcoin was priced at $3.37, giving those coins a value of $202,000 back then. Today? Over $6.5 billion.

Recent transactions
- Four wallets transferring 40,000 BTC (~$4.35B)
- One additional wallet moving 10,000 BTC (~$1.09B)
- Another wallet transferring 10,000 BTC (~$1.08B)
- Another wallet transferring 10,000 BTC (~$1.08B)
- Lastly, 1f1miYFQWTzdLiCBxtHHnNiW7WAWPUccr moved 10,009 BTC (~$1.08B)
That brings the total moved to 80,009 BTC! (~$8.68B)
What next?
Many believe that the BTC moved will be sold.
On-chain analysts have been digging deep to find out who’s in control of the wallets.
@SaniExp is “99.99%” sure that the person behind it is Roger Ver.
Roger Ver is well-known to be a guy who invested early into Bitcoin, has worked with/backed several Bitcoin companies and in general is a major figure in the Bitcoin community.
Many have started to run with the idea that he’s behind the BTC being moved.
But some believe the Bitcoin is actually being seized.
We’ll find out in due time.
