Dormant Bitcoin Whale Awakens After 5 Years, Moves 2,221 BTC ($245M) — 2013 Accumulation Now Yields 1265x ROI

According to Chainalysis and reported by COINOTAG, a long-dormant BTC whale moved 2,221 BTC (about $245 million) to two newly created wallets roughly five hours before the disclosure. On-chain records show the address initially accumulated 3,109 BTC in July 2013 when Bitcoin traded near $94.5, and later sold 888 BTC in August 2017 to Gemini at about $4,540, leaving the remaining coins untouched until this transfer. The holdings represent an approximate 1265x return on the original accumulation. This transaction is publicly verifiable on blockchain explorers and may warrant monitoring by market observers and compliance teams for potential liquidity impacts.
