Bitcoin has seen a solid 4% gain in recent days, and it’s not just retail FOMO doing the heavy lifting. According to blockchain data, the rally might be partly fueled by the return of a hungry crypto whale—and we’re not talking about the kind that swims in the ocean.

After selling off 11,400 BTC in recent months, this mysterious mega-investor turned around on March 24 and bought back $200 million worth of Bitcoin in one gulp. Seems like even whales can have second thoughts (and big ones at that).

ARKHAM ALERT: BILLIONAIRE BITCOIN WHALE APPEARS TO HAVE JUST BOUGHT $BTC

A $1B Bitcoin Whale just withdrew $200M of BTC this morning from Binance.

He started acquiring BTC 5 days ago after selling between $100K and $86K in February.

Whale Now Holds 15,000 BTC Worth Over $1.3 Billion

Despite offloading some coins in February, this whale is now back to holding over 15,000 BTC, which—at current prices—is worth a jaw-dropping $1.3 billion. That’s not just diamond hands… that’s platinum, laser-eyed, cold-storage vault hands.

Interestingly, he began accumulating again five days ago, after having sold part of his holdings while Bitcoin ranged between $86,000 and $100,000. His return to the buyer’s camp coincides with BTC slowly crawling away from its March 11 low of $76,900.

And as every trader knows, when whales move, waves follow.

A Sleeping Whale Awakens After 8 Years

In an unexpected twist, another ancient whale suddenly came back to life. After eight years of total silence, this OG investor just moved 3,000 BTC (valued at $250 million) in one single transaction.

According to blockchain sleuths at Arkham, the stash sat untouched since 2017, when it was worth a modest $3 million. Fast forward to 2025, and that same stack is now worth more than 80x. That’s what you call long-term conviction… or forgetfulness with a happy ending.

$250M BITCOIN WHALE WAKES UP AFTER 8 YEARS

A Bitcoin Whale that has held BTC since late 2016 has just moved over $250M in BTC last night.

His Bitcoin stack went from $3M in early 2017 to over $250M today – and he’s held Bitcoin on one address for over 8 years. pic.twitter.com/RF1aewYVgy

BlackRock Clients Are Getting the BTC Bug Again

Not to be outdone, BlackRock’s clientele is also piling back in. This week alone, they scooped up an extra 4,054 BTC, pushing the asset manager’s total holdings to 573,878 BTC—a stash valued around $50 billion, according to Bitcoin Treasury Tracker (Bitbo).

Apparently, big money is smelling opportunity, not doom. Whether it’s institutions or ancient whales rising from the deep, smart capital seems to be circling Bitcoin once again.

So… Is This the Start of the Real Bull Run?

That’s the million-Bitcoin question. While the momentum is encouraging, analysts caution that a real bull market revival needs more than just a few fat wallets reappearing.

But still—between BlackRock’s appetite and ancient wallets waking up, the bull is starting to stretch its legs again. Whether it sprints or stumbles next? Stay tuned, and maybe HODL some popcorn.
