After funneling 40,000 BTC to Galaxy Digital, the elusive whale behind the massive Fourth of July 80,000 BTC shuffle moved yet another 10,000 BTC. As of now, three wallets are still untouched, holding a hefty 30,000 BTC—roughly $3.5 billion—sitting idle.
Another 10,000 BTC Shifted as Whale’s Trail Grows Colder
At block height 905705, the original holder of the 80,000 BTC shuffled 12 days ago has transferred another 10,000 BTC. The stash came from the wallet tagged “bc1qnzy,” which now holds a mere 0.00001600 BTC—just $1.90 left behind. One bitcoin was dispatched to the address labeled “bc1qs4n,” while the remaining 9,999 BTC was routed to a change address marked “bc1qklv.”
Unlike the earlier batch of 40,000 BTC, these funds didn’t make their way into Galaxy Digital’s hands. On Tuesday, Bitcoin.com News reported that the 40,000 BTC—after being split into two piles of 20,000—landed in a Galaxy-tagged wallet. Since then, onchain parsers like Whale Alert have shown Galaxy moving those coins elsewhere.
A review of Galaxy’s BTC transfers from one specific wallet reveals hefty amounts were sent to major exchange counterparties including Binance, Bitstamp, and Gemini. Others were funneled into unidentified and unflagged addresses. The mysterious party responsible for sending bitcoin to both Galaxy and unknown wallets continues to stir speculation following the colossal Fourth of July transactions.
The timing, precision, and scale of these transfers suggest an operator with deep technical fluency and a strategic agenda. Whether these moves are part of a liquidation plan, custody reshuffle, or something more calculated remains to be seen. But one thing is clear—someone with serious bitcoin clout is quietly orchestrating transactions that have the crypto world watching closely. At present, wallets – 1, 2, 3 – still hold 10,000 BTC each.
