Satoshi-era whale moves $4.6B in Bitcoin after 14-year HODL

Key Points

1. A long-dormant Bitcoin whale transferred 40,010 BTC ($4.6 billion), with 28,600 BTC sent to Galaxy Digital initially, followed by another 10,200 BTC ($1.2 billion).

2. The whale's holdings of 80,000 BTC have seen a 2.4 million percent increase in value over 14 years.

3. The movement occurred shortly after Bitcoin surpassed Amazon's market cap to become the world's fifth-largest asset.

4. Bitcoin's price reached a new all-time high of $122,600 amid strong ETF inflows and positive market sentiment.

5. Analysts suggest the price surge is partly driven by 'Crypto Week' and expectations of favorable regulatory changes.
