Bitcoin Whale Stirs $381 Million After Four-Year Silence

A major Bitcoin investor has broken their four-year silence on the blockchain, transferring 4,500 BTC ($381.38 million) from an old transit wallet to a new address.

The donor wallet, whose history analysts had tracked for several years, now has an absolute zero balance according to Arkham Intelligence data.

This transaction is notable not just due to the amount, but also the context. The same amount of coins arrived at this address exactly four years ago, valued at around $187.38 million.

The owner of the capital rode out a prolonged market downturn and ignored Bitcoin's 2025 all-time high when the coins were worth more than $600 million.
