$BTC Ancient Bitcoin holders moved millions to exchanges as Middle East tensions drove oil higher, fueling a broader risk-off shift across crypto and traditional markets.
Ancient Bitcoin holders moved tens of millions of dollars to exchanges as Bitcoin fell and energy prices jumped after attacks on Gulf oil and gas infrastructure deepened the conflict involving Iran, Israel and the United States.
Ancient whale “bc1ql” sent 1,000 Bitcoin (BTC), worth around $71 million at current prices, to Binance on Wednesday, according to blockchain data platform Arkham. The whale initially bought 5,000 BTC 13 years ago and still holds about 1,500 BTC worth about $106 million, according to blockchain analytics platform Onchain Lens.
The same day, one of the earliest Bitcoin holders, Owen Gunden, also transferred 650 BTC ($46 million) to crypto exchange Kraken, marking his first large sale in five months, when he sold a total of 11,000 BTC ($1.12 billion),
The transfers added to signs of profit-taking among some long-term holders as traders reacted to a broader risk-off move driven by the Middle East energy shock.
The whale movements follow reports of Israel striking Iran’s giant South Pars gas field , after killing Iran’s intelligence minister, Esmail Khatib, the third senior Iranian figure assassinated over the past few days, South Pars is part of the world’s largest natural gas field, with Qatar and Iran both operating facilities in the area.
$BTC Bitcoin’s latest sell-off occurred shortly after Iran’s strike on Qatar’s energy infrastructure, according to Aurelie Barthere, principal research analyst at crypto intelligence platform Nansen.
“BTC began to sell off yesterday around noon CET, following the escalation of the war between Iran and Israel and the attack on gas infrastructure in Qatar, Bitcoin’s price fell 5% during the past 24 hours and was trading at $70,439

Twelve years. Almost an eternity in the crypto world.
But today, an anonymous titan of the ecosystem has awakened.
A Satoshi-era wallet, dormant since 2013, moved 306 BTC—valued at more than $35 million—in a single transaction.
The movement has not only generated theories, but also fear and speculation: was it a simple consolidation of funds or a prelude to massive OG sales?
🔍 The mystery of the prehistoric BTC that changed hands
The blockchain does not forget. And today, its memory revealed that a wallet containing 306.24 BTC, accumulated between October and November 2013, was activated for the first time in more than a decade.
These types of wallets—known as “dormant whales”—belong to early adopters of the ecosystem, many of whom mined or purchased BTC when it was worth less than $200.
The block where the transaction was recorded quickly caught the attention of on-chain analysts. The funds were sent to a new address with no prior history, bypassing known exchanges, suggesting a possible asset reorganization rather than an immediate sale.
Key Details:
BTC accumulated in 2013, during the first major bull run. Estimated current value: $35.8 million. Transaction split into multiple outputs, which could indicate the use of mixers or privacy layers.
The Lookonchain analyst commented:
“Every time a wallet of this age moves, the market trembles a little. Not because of the amount, but because of what it represents.”
This event adds to a recent series of movements from Satoshi-era wallets, which some interpret as signs of generational change or preparation for fiscal or political events.
Topic Opinion:
The most important thing here isn't the money, but the symbolic message: the early believers are still among us.
Many might think a sell-off is imminent, but for me, it's a sign of evolution.
Pioneers are reorganizing their funds, perhaps for new generations, new protocols, or new ideas.
The Bitcoin of the past isn't the same as it is today, but its fundamentals remain as solid as they were in 2013.

The number of Bitcoin whale wallets holding 1,000+ BTC has increased by 2.2% to 1,384, reaching a four-month high as of November 17, 2025, while retail wallets have decreased to an annual low of 977,420.
The Fear and Greed Index for cryptocurrencies has dropped to 11, indicating extreme fear as Bitcoin trades below $90,000, with $87,700 as a key support.

In a dramatic escalation of his burgeoning political ambitions, Elon Musk has unequivocally stated that the full exposure of the Jeffrey Epstein files will be a "top priority" for his newly launched "America Party." The tech mogul's declaration comes amid renewed public scrutiny over the long-suppressed documents and a deepening feud between Musk and the current administration.
Musk, who has been increasingly vocal about government transparency, took to his platform X (formerly Twitter) to press the issue. He specifically challenged the administration's handling of the Epstein case, asking, "How can people be expected to have faith in [the administration] if he won't release the Epstein files?" 🤨
When directly asked by an X user if "exposing the Epstein files" would rank high on the America Party's agenda, Musk responded with a resounding "💯" emoji, leaving no doubt about his commitment. This move positions the Epstein files as a central plank in the America Party's nascent platform, aiming to tap into widespread public demand for accountability and full disclosure surrounding the disgraced financier's network.
The timing of Musk's statement is particularly pointed, following recent reports from the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that concluded Epstein died by suicide and found no evidence of a "client list" of powerful figures. These conclusions have been met with skepticism by many, a sentiment Musk appears to be capitalizing on. He even posted a sarcastic "arrest counter" on X, showing "0 0 0 0" arrests in the Epstein case, with the caption: "What's the time? Oh look, it's no-one-has-been-arrested-o'clock again." 🕰️🕵️‍♂️
Musk's America Party, recently announced as a challenge to the established "two-party (some would say uniparty) system," appears to be drawing a clear line in the sand on this issue. This commitment to transparency around the Epstein scandal could resonate with a public frustrated by perceived government secrecy and a lack of consequences for those allegedly involved. The coming months will reveal if this high-profile commitment translates into significant political traction for the America Party. 🗳️✨
