Galaxy Digital completes the sale of Bitcoin worth 1.3 trillion yen, securing profits for Satoshi era investors.

## Equivalent to 1.3 trillion yen in transactions

The U.S. digital asset giant Galaxy Digital announced on the 25th that it executed the sale of over 80,000 BTC on behalf of its clients. At the current market price, this amounts to $9 billion (approximately 1.3 trillion yen), making it one of the largest transactions in cryptocurrency history.

The sale was made by early holders who had been investing since the Satoshi era (the early days of BTC), marking "one of the earliest and most significant exits" from the digital asset market. According to the company, this transaction was carried out as part of the investor's broader estate planning strategy.

This whale investor has been confirmed to have sent Bitcoin to Galaxy Digital since the 15th of this month, raising investor caution regarding substantial profit-taking.

Galaxy Digital is a global leader in digital asset and data center infrastructure based in New York. It provides trading, advisory, asset management, staking, and custody services for institutional investors, and also operates data centers for AI and high-performance computing.

Recently, the activity of old whale wallets has been increasing, and on the 24th, a wallet that had been dormant for 14 years moved 3,962 BTC. The Bitcoin accumulated in January 2011 at around $0.37 has now ballooned to over 320,000 times its value.

According to blockchain analysis firm Arkham, another early holder moved 10,603 BTC on July 23. As Bitcoin hovers near its all-time high, the preparation for mass selling by veteran holders has become a focal point of market trends.
