Satoshi-Era Bitcoin Whale Made $1.4 Billion In Profit

According to on-chain data, the wallet has finally broken its 13-year silence, a period during which it remained untouched as Bitcoin rose from under $100 to over $100,000.

Out of nowhere, 12,000 $BTC, worth roughly $1.4 billion at current prices, was moved in a series of transactions. Analysts confirmed this was one of the most profitable on-chain sales in Bitcoin’s history.

He explained that if Bitcoin can successfully reclaim and hold above $105,000, it could trigger renewed buying momentum, potentially pushing prices higher toward the $107,000 mark and beyond.

However, if it fails to break through this resistance, the next move could be brutal: a drop back to the $100,000 support zone, or even lower.
