Bitcoin Whales Move $450M as BTC Eyes $92.8K Amid ETF and ETF Momentum

Bitcoin (BTC) is trading near $86,470 after a 1.2% intraday drop, showing signs of short-term consolidation. Yet, under the surface, investor sentiment remains increasingly bullish.

Arkham Intelligence reports a major Bitcoin whale recently sold 11,400 BTC while securing 2,400 BTC in gains, bringing their holdings to over 15,000 BTC valued at $1.3 billion.

Institutional activity is also ramping up. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) acquired 4,054 BTC, adding to the $744 million net inflow into spot Bitcoin ETFs. These large-scale moves reinforce confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term trajectory, especially as supply becomes more constrained and institutional demand builds.

Another dormant wallet, inactive for eight years, transferred 3,000 BTC—worth approximately $250 million—suggesting long-term holders are re-entering the market.

These funds will include both U.S.-based equities and crypto assets like Bitcoin and Cronos (CRO), expanding accessibility across the U.S., Europe, and Asia.
