Massive Bitcoin Whale Moves Over $875,000,000 Worth of BTC – Here’s Where the Crypto Is Going

A Bitcoin (BTC) whale moved more than $875.7 million worth of Bitcoin in a single transaction as BTC’s price continued to move sideways on Tuesday.

The blockchain tracker Whale Alert first reported a transaction between two unknown wallets on Tuesday morning. A separate unknown wallet also received less than 0.002 BTC from the sending wallet.

The nearly 15,075 Bitcoin moved for a transaction fee of 0.00001410 BTC, worth about $0.81 at time of writing, according to Blockchain.com.

A little more than two hours later, the receiving wallet of the first transaction sent almost all the Bitcoin to a different unknown wallet. The third unknown wallet sent the Bitcoin trove to fourth unknown wallet nearly three hours later.

Finally, a little more than an hour after receiving the BTC, the fourth unknown wallet moved nearly all of that Bitcoin to a fifth unknown wallet, where it sits at time of writing.

The fifth and final unknown wallet is currently the 52nd-richest Bitcoin address in the world, with holdings worth $863,897,256 at time of writing, according to BitInfoCharts.
