Bitcoin Whale Cashes In $4.7M After 15 Years—Treats It Like Pocket Change 🤑

So apparently, a Bitcoin whale—yes, the kind that makes your tiny savings look like loose change in the couch—decided to stretch its flippers and move 50 BTC mined back when dinosaurs roamed (or at least 2010). Those 50 coins? Worth a casual nearly $4.7 million now. That’s a 93 million percent profit, give or take a few zeroes. Meanwhile, other whales are rubbing their fins together and splashing back into Bitcoin, pushing prices sky-high like it’s nobody’s business. 🐋💸

Bitcoin Whales Finally Break 15-Year Hibernation With A $5M Splash

After a snooze longer than your last quarantine nap, a wallet sitting on 50 BTC mined 15 years ago has finally stirred. Early 2010, Bitcoin was so cheap you probably considered it spare change—you could’ve bought a latte instead for less than $0.10 per coin. Now? Flash forward to today, and those humble 50 BTC are strutting around with a jaw-dropping 93,460,500% profit. No big deal.

Back then, those coins were worth less than $5. Now, with Bitcoin tiptoeing above $94,000, they’re essentially a mini Fortune 500 in digital form.

Oh, and if you thought that’s wild, check out November 2024’s headline stunt: some genius unloaded 2,000 BTC, originally pocket change at $120, for a sweet $179 million. Talk about an upgrade from ramen noodles to champagne.

Whale Watch 2025: Are They Buying More Bitcoin or Just Showing Off?

“Bitcoin’s value shot up +11.2%, thanks to whales & sharks hoarding even more coins. Wallets holding 10-10K BTC added 19,255 coins in a week, flexing crypto’s mightiest muscles.”

Santiment’s crystal ball (aka data) says wallets with 10 to 10,000 BTC piled on 19,255 new coins last week alone. That stacks their total loot to a stratospheric 13.47 million BTC, while Bitcoin’s price casually strutted up 11.2% to $94,430.89. Basically, every time these big fish buy in, the market plays “hold my beer” and shoots higher because, guess what, fewer coins to go around = more FOMO.

Bitcoin whale frenzy

Glassnode played Gotham’s Alfred and reported the same: giants with over 10,000 BTC are in full-on buying mode (probably buying yachts). Slightly smaller whales holding 1,000 to 10,000 coins are tagging along, and even the mid-sized wallets with 100 to 1,000 BTC are joining the party. This whale parade screams “we’re confident—swim with us or get left behind.”
