Galaxy Digital appears to offload bitcoin worth billions from OG whale trove: onchain analysts

“This is a cybercriminal’s dream working list.” A trove of breached data, which has now been taken down, includes user logins for platforms including Apple, Google, and Meta. Among the exposed accounts are ones linked to dozens of governments.

As BTC breezed past $93,000, a wallet born on Sept. 14, 2012—nearly 13 years old—finally moved its 242 BTC for the first time at block height 893,589. The trove, now assessed at $22.6 million, journeyed from a classic P2PKH (Pay-to-Public-Key-Hash) address to a modern Bech32 P2WPKH (Pay-to-Witness-Public-Key-Hash) destination. Back when the owner acquired the hoard, it was valued at just $253.40, translating into an eye-watering 8,923,480% appreciation since then. Yesterday, eight wallets dating back to February and March 2013 awakened, each dispatching 25 BTC, for an aggregate 200 BTC now worth $18.7 million—their first activity in more than a dozen years. Data gathered by btcparser.com shows the coins departed from eight individual and legacy P2PKH addresses. Similarly to the 2012 transfer, the full allocation converged in a fresh Bech32 P2WPKH wallet. Momentum for reanimated bitcoin became a lot more prominent on April 21, when four addresses created in June 2017 sent 126.96 BTC across four transactions. On Tuesday, April 22, ahead of the 2013 wallets’ activity, a 2016-era address born in October dispatched 83 BTC at block height 893,448. In the same block, another October 2016 wallet released an additional 70 BTC. Such stirrings are hardly uncommon; dormant BTC addresses tend to grow livelier during price booms. Whether the coins will hit exchanges or merely relocate to updated formats is unknown. Should bitcoin’s rally persist, it seems as though plenty more slumbering coins will soon stretch their legs. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea became the world’s fifth-largest sovereign Bitcoin holder after Lazarus stole over $1.4 billion from Bybit. North Korean-funded terror group Lazarus has catapulted the nation’s Bitcoin ( BTC ) holdings above caches controlled by crypto-friendly countries Bhutan and El Salvador. Lazarus controls 13,518 BTC, worth approximately $1.1 billion at press time, according to Arkham data . This massive wealth was amassed through numerous cyber attacks and crypto exploits over the years, like the Japanese exchange DMM Bitcoin exploit in 2024 and Ronin Network in 2022, where Lazarus stole $308 million and over $600 million in crypto, respectively. At present, the DPRK-tied organization boasts more Bitcoin than Bhutan’s 10,635 BTC trove, which it has accumulated through large-scale mining, and 6,118 BTC attributed to El Salvador, the first country to adopt BTC as legal tender. Currently, 198,109 BTC held by U.S. authorities, China’s 194,000 BTC trove, the United Kingdom’s 61,000 BTC hoard, and Ukraine’s 46,351 BTC stash are the only known sovereign Bitcoin portfolios bigger than North Korea’s. The sudden jump in North Korea’s BTC wealth follows Lazarus’ attack on Bybit in February. Dubai-based crypto exchange Bybit reported that over 400,000 Ether ( ETH ) had been stolen from its Safe multi-sig cold wallet. Lazarus tapped decentralized finance protocols like THORChain, which in-house developers and the crypto community criticized for lax anti-criminal measures, to swap a significant portion of the ETH to BTC. Per CNN, citing a White House official, Lazarus proceeds, and illicit wealth from other DPKR-funded syndicates finances almost 50% of North Korea’s nuclear missile program.

Crypto analyst and Bitcoin advocate Max Keiser sarcastically suggests the U.S. government could start selling states to keep the strategic reserve ‘budget neutral,’ as more traders begin brainstorming ways for America to buy more BTC. In a recent post, crypto analyst Max Keiser jested that selling certain U.S. states could help the Trump administration raise money to fund its national strategic reserve. AI and crypto czar David Sacks has made it clear that the BTC ( BTC ) reserve will not rely on taxpayer money to fund it. “Selling Maine, Vermont & Massachusetts to buy Bitcoin is budget neutral,” Keiser said in his recent post. The idea of establishing a reserve of Bitcoin is not new to governments, as evidenced by El Salvador’s increasing position in the original cryptocurrency. Selling Maine, Vermont & Massachusetts to buy Bitcoin is budget neutral. Keiser, a former Wall Street vet who currently serves as an advisor to El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, has been bullish on Bitcoin since at least 2011, promoting it on his wildly influential show the Keiser Report that aired on Russia Today. In addition to selling the states, Keiser also theorized that selling a portion of the nation’s cheese reserves maybe another viable option. Selling America’s strategic cheese reserve and buying Bitcoin is budget neutral. pic.twitter.com/0aJeCfEeIK Other less sarcastic proposals have floated ways of creating a budget-neutral Bitcoin reserve. In a recent crypto.news op-ed , the idea of auctioning the nation’s naming rights to national landmarks, parks, lakes and rivers was posited. “Auctioning off naming rights to national landmarks offers a proactive, budget-neutral boost, echoing President Trump’s call to harness digital assets for American prosperity.” “It’s a blueprint that exists in sports. Naming rights have long turned stadiums into cash cows without diluting their purpose.” In fact, Crypto.com has already taken that step when it acquired the naming rights to rename the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California to Crypto.com Arena in 2021. And Trump has already given the green light to rename other national monuments, rebranding the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America earlier this year. The logic follows that by auctioning the naming rights to the Mississippi River or the Great Lakes, the Fed could attract BTC for the reserve by virtue of leasing their naming rights to major crypto entities. Others such as Bitcoin analyst Jimmy Song have pointed to alternatives like selling federal assets such as land, gold and unused buildings to gain funds to buy more Bitcoin for the national strategic reserve, though this would require Congressional approval. In addition, he also suggested selling or privatizing public services such as the postal service or Amtrak, as well as leasing mineral rights on federal land. Analyst and Muse Labs founder Jiang Jinze also suggested selling federal assets, putting extra emphasis on gold because he believes its value is most in line with Bitcoin considering how they follow similar trends. Another idea he pitched to traders through his translated X post is for the U.S. government to start mining its own BTC, similar to how Bhutan has begun to adopt a state-supported crypto mining mechanism for years to boost its crypto reserves. According to analysts, less than half of the 200,000 BTC trove can be considered “real reserves.” This is because the U.S. government is obligated to return much of it to various entities. Last January, the U.S. federal court ruled that 94,643 BTC stolen from the 2016 Bitfinex hack must be returned to the exchange. The U.S. government currently holds the stolen Bitfinex crypto funds after it was seized by authorities. In 2014, the US government in a sealed bid sold over 29,000 Bitcoins it held to financier Tim Draper. A move Keiser commented on as well. Tim Draper should be a mensch and return the Bitcoin he bought at auction from the US. “The U.S. Marshals Service auctioned off 29,655 bitcoins at an estimated worth of about $18 million in an online, sealed-bid auction” [now worth $2.7 billion] With the White House crypto summit looming on the horizon, in addition to the official establishment of a Bitcoin strategic reserve yesterday, analysts are now wondering how a budget-neutral approach to padding the Fed’s coffers can assist in making the US a global cryptocurrency powerhouse.
