The recent transfers were made in six equal batches of 10,000 BTC each. The Bitcoin stash was originally acquired at an average of $2 per coin.
Massive fund movements like this often hint at incoming selling pressure, but in this case, no Bitcoin has reached exchange addresses. The whale may be restructuring its storage setup or quietly gearing up for its strategy.
Bitcoin is currently trading at around $108,000, down 1.5% in the last 24 hours, according to TradingView.
