In a record-breaking Bitcoin whale movement, an early Bitcoin wallet has reactivated after 14 years of silence. It transferred more than 80,000 BTC at today’s price of over $9.6 billion to crypto investment company Galaxy Digital. Originally, it was put away in April 2011 when the price of Bitcoin was a mere $0.78. The coins in question were a part of what, at the time, was some of the very first and largest holdings in the history of Bitcoin.

In 2025 on July 4th, the first signs of life appeared when the whale put out the BTC across eight new addresses. The run out transfers took place on July 15 (40,010 BTC) and July 17 (40,191 BTC). In the end, this completed the move to Galaxy Digital’s care platform. This marked a significant Bitcoin whale transaction. The original investment of around $62,400 has since grown by over 15.4 million percent. This demonstrates the impact of these substantial movements of Bitcoin by whales.

Movement Managed Through Galaxy Digital

Galaxy Digital, which is headed by former Goldman Sachs partner Mike Novogratz, was at the heart of this high stake crypto event. As the largest over the counter (OTC) trading desk in the crypto space, Galaxy was likely chosen to prevent a market crash. This is a crucial aspect of Bitcoin whale management. Unlike retail exchange trading, which is public and large scale, OTC deals are private. They are efficient for large holders to liquidate. In this particular Bitcoin movement, Galaxy’s role was pivotal.

Despite what you would think of the scale of the action in the whale movement of Bitcoin, the market took it in stride. We saw a brief drop from what was at that time the all-time high of $123,153 to $115,700. This is a 6.1% drop which did not last. The price quickly recovered to around $120,385. This, in turn, points to strong liquidity and institutional support behind the scenes. Such examples of large movements by Bitcoin whales often show its effect on the market’s stability and resilience.

Galaxy Digital is into the large-scale execution of complex trades, providing 24/7 trading access, deep liquidity, and compliance oversight. This is proof of how far crypto infrastructure has come. It shows handling was once thought to be out of the question.

Theories Swirl Around Bitcoin Whale’s Identity

Crypto experts and social media investigators are putting forward who the whale is. Some think it’s Roger Ver, also known as “Bitcoin Jesus”. Also, it could be a 2011 miner from the past that decided to cash in. There is a theory which puts the wallet at Satoshi Nakamoto’s, but that is very little to go on. This adds mystery to the movement of the creatures called Bitcoin whales.

Also, the whale which put forth a Bitcoin Cash (BCH) transaction may have been a test using the same private key before the BTC. This action, along with manual transaction patterns, has brought to light issues of possible key recovery. There are even concerns of unauthorized access through Bitcoin whale activities.

The Bitcoin whale movement is a landmark in crypto history. It also brings to light the fact that early adoption has great value. But at the same time, it highlights the importance of modern secure and compliant infrastructure for large scale crypto transactions. This includes the movement of substantial Bitcoin amounts.
