The "Bitcoin Whale" Closes Position Held for Two Months, Realizing a Profit of $11.6 Million

Blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain identified two addresses likely belonging to the same trader, which simultaneously closed long Bitcoin positions held for nearly two months, securing a combined profit of $11.6 million. The exit coincided with Bitcoin's sharp rally above $81,000 on August 25th, a move linked by BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes to new U.S. Treasury bond-buying programs signaling a fresh bull market. The surge to $81,000 was fueled by $225 million in short liquidations within 10 minutes, creating a squeeze that propelled prices. While some large holders took profits after months of paper losses earlier in the year, others continued accumulating, betting on further upside. With Bitcoin having one of its strongest quarters since 2021, the market now watches whether the $80,000 level will hold as support or if profit-taking pressure will emerge. Macro voices like Hayes suggest Treasury liquidity could drive Bitcoin toward six figures, making the coming days crucial to see if such whale exits are isolated or the start of a broader trend.

Monkey-Selling Lifeline Finally Turns Fortunes: Machi Big Brother Turns $150k Into $12.72 Million In Three Days

Machi Big Brother, a prominent crypto whale, has staged a dramatic comeback. After ten months of significant losses, he turned a $150,000 capital into $12.72 million in just three days during last week's market rally. This 84x gain was achieved through aggressive "rolling" strategies on the Hyperliquid platform, where unrealized profits are continuously used as collateral to increase leveraged long positions. His current portfolio holds $100.7 million in assets backing $123.72 million in open long positions, primarily in ETH, with an overall leverage of approximately 13.1x. However, this massive position is highly precarious; a roughly 10% drop in ETH's price to $2,229 would trigger automatic liquidation, wiping out his recent profits. His trading history is marked by high leverage, frequent liquidations, and poor risk management, having been liquidated 71 times in a single month in 2025. To fund these risky trades and meet margin calls in recent months, he has been selling his NFT holdings, including Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) assets, at substantial losses—a move the community dubbed "selling monkeys to stay alive." Despite the recent windfall, his cumulative losses remain high, and his high-risk strategy leaves him vulnerable to sudden market reversals.

Mysterious "Whale" Sells $576 Million Worth of Bitcoin Amid BTC Price Approach to $80,000

An unidentified crypto "whale" sold 2,700 BTC (worth approximately $211.8 million) in a single transaction, bringing its total sales over three days to 7,700 BTC for roughly $576.6 million. This selling pressure occurs as Bitcoin trades near the $80,000 mark, having recently retreated from nearly reaching that level. While large holders often sell to realize profits during sharp rallies, on-chain data only confirms the movement of coins, not the motive. So far, these sales have had little impact on Bitcoin's upward momentum, with the asset posting double-digit gains recently and its strongest weekly increase since 2024. The rally was fueled by a U.S. Treasury Department announcement to at least double its long-term bond buyback operations starting September 9th, which lowered bond yields and pushed investors toward riskier assets like Bitcoin. This week's selling marks a reversal from a recent accumulation trend, where large holders had added about 43,000 BTC (worth ~$2.75B) over a 60-day period ending in mid-August, helping set the stage for the current price surge. As Bitcoin hovers around $80,000, traders are watching key factors: whether other major holders will follow suit and sell into strength, and if renewed institutional demand from ETFs can absorb the selling pressure. The outcome will likely determine Bitcoin's next major price move.

Major Altcoin Market Players Did This During the Massive Rally!

As the cryptocurrency bull market intensifies, large-scale transactions by crypto 'whales' are drawing significant attention. Blockchain data reveals multi-million dollar positions opened and closed in Bitcoin ($BTC), Ethereum ($ETH), and Hyperliquid ($HYPE). A major investor, likely tied to Matrixport, closed a 40,000 $ETH long position worth ~$100.5M for a $9.9M profit. The investor still holds 80,000 $ETH (~$201M) and 500 $BTC (~$39M), with an unrealized profit of ~$22.9M. This turned their previous $92.5M total loss into an approximate $32.8M overall profit. On Hyperliquid, a trader known as loracle.hl reportedly lost over $70M trading $HYPE in the past three months. The investor currently holds ~$54.88M in $HYPE short positions, at risk of liquidation if $HYPE's price reaches $101.15. Notorious trader Machi Big Brother, who reportedly survived 500 liquidations, capitalized on the recent rally. He grew his portfolio from $152K to $12.72M in just three days, yielding over $12.5M in profit. While $HYPE hits a new all-time high, Multicoin Capital has deposited 427,422 $HYPE (~$31.74M) to Coinbase Prime over three days, raising speculation about a potential sale or portfolio rebalance. In Bitcoin markets, an anonymous whale stands out, selling ~2,700 $BTC (~$211.8M) in a recent transaction. Over three days, this whale sold a total of 7,700 $BTC, valued at approximately $576.6M.

Two Ethereum "Whales" Sell $63 Million in Assets Amid Intensifying Selling Pressure

Two major "whale" entities sold a combined $63 million worth of Ethereum (ETH) and staked ETH (stETH) on Friday amid ongoing market selling pressure. Blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain reported that a large investor known as "7 Siblings" sold 14,000 ETH for $32.85 million. This entity, tracked since 2024, typically buys ETH during sharp declines and takes profits through coordinated large transfers. At its peak, this wallet held assets worth approximately $2.8 billion in ETH. Separately, wallet 0xFD10 sold 11,252 stETH and 1,824 ETH for a combined $30.78 million. Unlike 7 Siblings, this wallet's market exit motives are unclear. These sales occurred as ETH traded near $2,350. The report notes a broader trend of large ETH holders selling during the 2026 rally, viewing price stability as an opportunity to reduce positions. Despite the sales, 7 Siblings remains a major known ETH holder, and its past behavior suggests further large transactions are possible if prices move significantly. A sustained break below $2,300 could refocus attention on the $2,000 zone, while a bounce would indicate the sales were routine profit-taking.

Insider Information About American Military May Be Leaked on Polymarket

According to a study by the Anti-Corruption Data Collective, activity on the Polymarket prediction platform may allow insider trading to become a signal that other traders and bots can copy. The research suggests that over 150 wallets on Polymarket may have traded on non-public information related to the U.S. military. Analysts examined all settled markets on May 5th, flagging "risky" bets—defined as wagers of at least $2,500 placed within an hour on outcomes with a 35% or lower probability. They identified 556 "orca" wallets, which often opened accounts, made successful risky bets on niche markets where insiders could have an advantage, then withdrew funds and disappeared. Among these, 152 wallets were notably successful on military and defense-related markets, earning a total of $8 million with an average win rate of 97.2%. The report notes that U.S. soldier Gannon C. Van Dyke, charged in April for alleged trading based on classified information, built his positions more slowly and was not among this top group. Platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi are taking steps to prevent abuse, with Kalshi planning to collect employment information from traders seeking access to certain contracts potentially linked to insider information or manipulation.

Over 24 Hours, 1,214 BTC Worth $86 Million Moved from Inactive Bitcoin Wallets Dormant for 11 Years

Summary: August has seen a significant movement of long-dormant Bitcoin, beginning with a security incident involving Coldcard hardware wallets. However, a recent wave is unrelated to theft and likely represents "old school" holders moving assets for security. Data from btcparser.com shows that on August 19-20, 28 inactive wallets suddenly transferred 1,314.41 BTC (worth ~$94.03 million). Remarkably, 92.4% came from addresses first created in 2014, with 21 transactions neatly moving 50 BTC each from November/December 2014 wallets. The owner consolidated funds from older P2PKH to newer P2WPKH addresses. These coordinated moves, grouped into the same blocks, show no current signs of being sent to an exchange. Blockchair's privacy tool rated some transactions as "low" due to patterns like repeated input addresses. Another 2014 wallet moved 150 BTC (~$10.73M) on Thursday. In total, 1,214.42 BTC (~$86M) from likely one or two 2014-era owners was moved. Additional transfers from 2016 and 2017 wallets also occurred. The 2014 cohort achieved staggering gains of at least 16,645%, having bought when Bitcoin traded between roughly $310 and $427 in late 2014, compared to its much higher price now.

Bitcoin Liquidates Over $1 Billion in Short Positions Within an Hour, Marking Largest Squeeze Since 2021

Bitcoin experienced a sharp surge above $70,000, triggering a massive short squeeze where over $1 billion in short positions were liquidated within approximately one hour—marking the largest such event since 2021. The rapid price increase was driven not by new buying but by forced buybacks from leveraged short positions, amplifying the uptrend. This shift occurred as Bitcoin held support around $60,000, reversing a months-long selling trend. Concurrently, improved risk sentiment was supported by policy developments, including former President Trump meeting with crypto industry executives and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission proposing exemptions for certain digital asset registrations. On the macro front, the U.S. Treasury's announcement to expand its bond buyback program lowered yields and boosted risk assets. Chain data from CryptoQuant indicates a notable change, with large holders accumulating approximately 43,000 Bitcoin (worth around $2.75 billion) over the past 60 days, signaling a reversal from previous selling pressure. Analysts highlight that the rally was primarily fueled by short covering, reflecting restored buyer confidence as market narratives shifted.

Bitcoin 'Whale Investors' Increase Their Holdings by 43,000 BTC, Ending a Months-Long Selling Wave

Large Bitcoin holders, defined as non-exchange and non-mining pool wallets, have accumulated approximately 43,000 BTC (worth around $2.9 billion) over the past 60 days. This marks a significant reversal from a several-month period where this same group were net sellers, contributing to downward pressure on Bitcoin's price following its October 2025 all-time high. The accumulation began when Bitcoin fell to around $60,000, a level that seemingly attracted large holders who had stayed on the sidelines during the sharper phase of the decline. Bitcoin has since recovered to trade in a narrower range between $62,000 and $65,000. This renewed demand is not limited to the largest "whale" wallets. Balances of so-called "dolphin" holders also increased in the same period, indicating a broader accumulation trend beyond just a handful of mega-wallets. This activity occurs against a backdrop of declining overall market activity, with August spot trading volumes hitting their lowest monthly level since August 2021, meaning the whale purchases represent a disproportionately large share of total market activity. This buying shift contrasts with the dominant selling trend seen for much of 2026 from other major entities. Looking ahead, a key factor to watch is whether this large-investor activity persists as Bitcoin approaches the upper bound of its recent $62k-$65k trading range.

Bitcoin Whales Halt Sell-off, Accumulate Over $2.7 Billion in 60 Days

Bitcoin whales have halted their selling spree and are actively accumulating, signaling a potential market bottom after months of downturn. According to on-chain data from CryptoQuant, large holders have net purchased approximately 43,000 BTC (worth around $2.75 billion) over the past 60 days, beginning when prices neared $60,000. Data from Glassnode confirms this trend, showing accelerated buying among both mid-sized holders (100-1,000 BTC) and ultra-large investors (over 10,000 BTC). This broad-based accumulation across holder tiers, which started in late July, is notable as it occurs against a backdrop of weak market sentiment, persistent outflows from crypto ETFs, and a significant price decline from last October's peak. While this whale activity offers a positive signal for investors seeking a market bottom, analysts caution that macro headwinds remain. Key institutional buyers like MicroStrategy have turned into net sellers, and overall trading volume and market participation are low. As Nexo analyst Dessislava Ianeva notes, while the accumulation is structurally significant, a broad market recovery ultimately depends on improved macroeconomic conditions.
