Whale Alert detected two large Bitcoin transfers totaling 1,140 BTC, equivalent to about $121 million, deposited to Binance from an anonymous wallet. These transactions coincided with a surge in Bitcoin's price above $106,000, marking a notable rise of 2.6% within less than a day. The transfers, split between 500 and 640 BTC within roughly one hour, suggest increased whale activity possibly aimed at locking in profits during this price spike.
Meanwhile, Anthony Pompliano’s new Bitcoin company, ProCap BTC, made a significant purchase of 3,724 Bitcoins worth nearly $396.5 million. This acquisition followed a $1 billion merger and a $750 million capital raise dedicated to Bitcoin acquisition. Michael Saylor, a prominent Bitcoin advocate, praised this strong institutional interest by calling it “a strong start for ProCap BTC.” Pompliano playfully responded, urging Saylor to leave some Bitcoin available for other investors.
Adding to the momentum, Michael Saylor’s treasury firm, Strategy, acquired an additional 245 BTC for approximately $26 million. This recent purchase follows a monumental $1 billion Bitcoin acquisition announced earlier the same week. With this latest buy, Strategy now holds a total of 592,345 BTC, valued at over $63 billion. This accumulation highlights sustained institutional confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value proposition amid its price volatility.
