Japanese Bitcoin Management Company Metaplanet Transfers Hundreds of Bitcoin to Cold Wallet!

Japanese company Metaplanet, a major institutional investor with Bitcoin as a core strategy, has transferred a substantial amount of BTC to external wallets. Blockchain data from Lookonchain shows the company moved 3,881 Bitcoin, worth approximately $247.3 million, over a three-hour period. The purpose of this transfer remains officially unexplained, leaving it unclear if it relates to a sale, custody arrangement, or another institutional operation. Metaplanet has recently accelerated its Bitcoin purchases, amassing a total of 43,000 BTC at an average acquisition price of about $96,191 per coin. The recent decline in Bitcoin's price has resulted in significant unrealized losses for Metaplanet's portfolio, estimated at roughly $1.4 billion—a 34% loss relative to the company's total Bitcoin cost basis. This large-scale transfer is being closely watched by the market for insights into institutional investor strategies, particularly during weak market conditions. However, a transfer to external wallets does not automatically signify an immediate sale. Market impact assessments will depend heavily on Metaplanet's future clarification regarding the transaction's intent.

TRON USDT Transfers Hit $2.1T In Q2 As Stablecoin Supply Reaches Record

In Q2 2026, TRON processed a staggering $2.1 trillion in USDT transfers, as reported by Messari. The network's circulating USDT supply reached a record $87.9 billion, surpassing Ethereum, while average daily transactions increased 8.7% to 11.8 million. This cements TRON's position as a leading stablecoin settlement layer, primarily due to its low fees and fast transactions for USDT transfers. However, the report notes the massive transfer volume encompasses various activities like exchange flows and arbitrage, not solely retail payments. The key takeaway is that TRON has secured a dominant, utility-driven role in the stablecoin market by efficiently facilitating large-scale digital dollar movements, even as it may not lead in other crypto sectors like DeFi.

Ethereum "Whale" Surrenders After 3 Years, Losses Exceed $19 Million

On-chain data analysis revealed that a major Ethereum 'whale' investor, who had held a significant position since early 2022, capitulated this week. The wallet sold 7,323 ETH for approximately $13.96 million. This exit price of around $1,906 per ETH resulted in a loss of nearly 30% compared to their average acquisition cost of $2,723. Analysts estimate this particular whale's total realized losses exceed $19 million, illustrating that staking rewards failed to offset the broader price decline since 2022. The capitulation by such a long-term holder, who endured two full bear market cycles, is often viewed as a potential signal of a local price bottom. In a separate transaction, Lookonchain reported that Galaxy Digital moved 1,346 BTC (worth ~$87.28 million) to a newly created wallet, a pattern analysts typically associate with over-the-counter (OTC) deals. Galaxy Digital has been notably active this year, frequently acting as an intermediary for large Bitcoin transactions, moving assets from dormant addresses to new wallets and exchanges.

Bitcoins from 2011 Moved. Their Owner is Up $10 Million

A dormant Bitcoin wallet from 2011 transferred nearly 50 BTC, worth approximately $3.2 million. The wallet's owner originally accumulated 144 BTC in 2011 when the price fluctuated between $13.99 and $2.76, with the total initial investment valued at around $399. Over 15 years, this early holder has realized a total profit estimated at $9.75 million from price appreciation. The owner made their first withdrawal of 11 BTC in 2021 when the price was $39,000. A second transfer of nearly 13 BTC occurred near the market peak in fall 2025 at $122,000. The latest transfer of almost 50 BTC was spotted on August 6. The wallet still holds 70 BTC, valued at about $4.5 million at current prices. The transferred 50 BTC have not been sold yet but were moved to a newer SegWit address (starting with "bc1"), which is more efficient and secure. Funds from this new address are periodically sent to institutional crypto broker FalconX, indicating a potential intent to sell. The movement is part of a broader trend where early holders migrated assets from old wallets to new ones in 2025 due to security concerns, including a phishing scam involving fake claims from "Saloman Brothers." Separately, this week saw a spike in crypto transfers, with $9 billion in Bitcoin moved to exchanges and new addresses following a major hack resulting in over $115 million stolen from Coldcard hardware wallets, marking a first for such devices traditionally considered highly secure.

One of the first major Bitcoin buyers who purchased it at $15 has become active again after 10 months!

A significant early Bitcoin investor, who originally bought BTC when it was priced between $10 and $15, has become active again after approximately 10 months of dormancy. According to on-chain analytics platform Onchain Lens, this large holder, often referred to as a "whale," transferred 50 BTC (worth roughly $3.22 million) to a new wallet address. Market observers speculate this transfer could be preparatory for an over-the-counter (OTC) sale. The analysis points out that this investor has a history of moving assets to new addresses before sending portions to institutional crypto services like FalconX or centralized exchanges. OTC trades are commonly used by large players to execute substantial transactions without causing significant price slippage on the open market. However, experts caution against definitive conclusions, noting that such wallet movements can also be related to security upgrades, changes in custody strategy, or simple wallet consolidation, and do not necessarily indicate an impending sale.

Hacker Coldcard Resumes Transfer of Stolen 30 BTC to a New Wallet

A hacker associated with the major Coldcard exploit has resumed activity after a period of dormancy, transferring 30.185 BTC (worth approximately $1.94 million) to a newly created wallet. This constitutes about 1.5% of the 2,055 BTC ($130 million) they initially stole. The transfer is seen as a potential early signal of an attempt to liquidate the stolen funds, which typically involves moving them through multiple wallets or mixers to avoid detection. The underlying theft, stemming from a firmware vulnerability in Coldcard Mk3 devices that weakened cryptographic randomness, resulted in losses exceeding $116 million from over 5,200 addresses. Canadian users accounted for roughly a quarter of the losses. Analysts and blockchain security researchers are closely monitoring the recipient wallet for subsequent movements to determine if the hacker is testing laundering routes or consolidating funds. This activity confirms the stolen coins remain traceable on the public ledger but also increases the risk they may soon become harder to track.

Lookonchain: Wallet Linked to Strategy Transfers 1,030 BTC Ahead of Approaching Fourth Sale

An on-chain analytics firm flagged a transfer of 1,030 BTC (worth ~$66.14 million) from wallets linked to MicroStrategy, speculating if the company was "dumping $BTC again." This activity comes ahead of a potential fourth sale, following the company's confirmed sale of 1,638 BTC (~$104.7M) in late July/early August 2024, its third sale of the year. MicroStrategy stated recent sales fund preferred stock dividends and share buybacks under its monetization program, part of a framework allowing up to $5B in Bitcoin sales. This marks a shift for the longtime corporate Bitcoin accumulator, whose holdings (842,138 BTC worth ~$52.6B) are still the world's largest. The company's average purchase price of $75,419 means its position is at a ~$10.9B paper loss at current prices. The latest 1,030 BTC movement is not yet confirmed as a sale, but previous wallet activity preceded confirmed sell-offs. Market observers note these flows add supply pressure as Bitcoin struggles to hold above $64,000, with analysts warning of downside risks. The key question is the scale of future sales, as the $5B program authorization leaves significant potential selling capacity, reminding markets that flows from the firm are now bidirectional.

Main Bitcoin Holder Noticed to Have Transferred Another $66 Million After Sales

On August 5th, a wallet linked to Michael Saylor's company, MicroStrategy, transferred 1,030 BTC (approx. $66M), according to blockchain analysis. While this does not necessarily indicate a sale, MicroStrategy—the largest corporate Bitcoin holder—began selling its BTC reserves in late May due to market downturns, reporting over $300M in sales since then. By July 31st, the company still held 842,138 BTC (worth ~$52B), purchased for $63.5B. Separately, major Bitcoin miner Marathon Digital (MARA) transferred 6,000 BTC ($384M) on August 5th, though the purpose is unclear. MARA has shifted from accumulating Bitcoin to strategic sales, having sold 20,880 BTC for $1.5B in Q1. The company plans to repurpose 90% of its idle capacity for AI computing, which it finds more profitable than mining. This trend extends to other miners like HIVE Digital, highlighting an industry shift from Bitcoin mining to AI services for higher returns.

A major Bitcoin market player, inactive for four years, transferred Bitcoin worth about 46 million dollars! Here are the details

A large Bitcoin investor, inactive for four years, has moved 730 BTC worth approximately $46.12 million. The assets, accumulated over seven years, were transferred to a newly created wallet from an address with no prior transaction history. Analysts suggest the move could be linked to recently discovered security vulnerabilities in hardware wallets, potentially prompting long-term holders to migrate funds for safety. There is no evidence the bitcoins were sent to an exchange, leaving the intent—whether for security or potential sale—unclear. This follows another recent large transfer of over 16,400 BTC (worth >$1 billion) by a separate long-term holder. Such activity signals renewed movement of funds among major investors, though transfers between wallets do not necessarily indicate imminent selling and can be for security or portfolio management purposes.

Trump's Company Denied Selling 2628 BTC

Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) has refuted claims that a transfer of 2,628 BTC (valued at approximately $164.9 million) constituted a sale of its Bitcoin holdings. The transaction, initially flagged by on-chain analysts as a potential sale after the assets were moved to the Crypto.com exchange, was clarified by a company representative as not being for selling purposes. This mirrors a similar incident from May 2026, when TMTG transferred 2,650 BTC and made an identical denial. TMTG announced plans to establish a significant Bitcoin reserve in May 2025, aiming for a $2.5 billion allocation funded through stock and bond offerings. By July 2025, the company reported its Bitcoin investments had reached $2 billion, having purchased 11,542 BTC at an average price of around $118,522 per coin. Currently, according to Arkham Intelligence, TMTG holds 4,261 BTC, which is also listed as collateral for its bonds. The company states that transfers to centralized exchanges are part of its broader strategy but has not provided specific details on what that strategy entails.
