Satoshi-era miner moves 2,650 BTC to FalconX, Cumberland as sell-side pressure builds
A dormant Bitcoin wallet from the early mining days has transferred 2,650 BTC, valued at approximately $203 million, to OTC trading desks FalconX and Cumberland. The wallet still retains around 6,000 BTC, worth about $462 million. This activity has raised concerns about potential sell-side pressure in the market as more holders appear to be positioning their coins for sale.
- ▪The transfer occurred on May 25, 2026, with the Bitcoin trading near $77,000 at that time.
- ▪The wallet has been inactive since Bitcoin's early days, specifically from 2009 to 2010.
- ▪This transfer follows a similar event in January 2026, where another Satoshi-era miner moved 2,000 BTC.
