Bitcoin Whale Awakens With $188M Move as BTC Holds Near $64K

A long-dormant Bitcoin whale transferred 2,931 BTC worth $188 million on July 13 after seven years of inactivity, marking the latest major on-chain event near $64,000. The week opened with SpaceX and Satoshi-era wallets showing first activity in months or years, followed by continued corporate accumulation from Hyperscale Data and Boyaa Interactive. Mid-week selling pressure emerged as Empery, Strategy, and Galaxy moved thousands of BTC toward exchanges or operations, while American Bitcoin executed a 1-for-15 reverse split. The period closed with Bitcoin’s 14th difficulty adjustment of 2026 easing mining pressure by 5%.
