Why now
  • The wallet reportedly moved 909.38 BTC valued around $84.6–$85M
  • Reports emphasize the wallet’s long inactivity (12–13 years) before the transfer
  • Some coverage explicitly questions whether this is the start of a whale cashout
Why it matters
  • Large transfers from long-dormant wallets can draw market attention and speculation
  • Highlights the scale of early-holder positions at today’s valuations
  • Conflicting dormancy/valuation figures show the need to verify details across sources
