The unidentified&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/dormant-bitcoin-whale-awakens-after-decade-with-11507-gains" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin (BTC)</a> whale has become unexpectedly active in the last 24 hours, increasing the cryptocurrency accumulation in its wallet and bringing its share to 12,131 BTC.&nbsp;
According to data from <a href="https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/address/bc1qmpn0l7adx483u5q6ss6z50xswdx80u6tz3w6ql" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Arkham Intelligence</a>, the address "bc1qmpn" originally appeared on on-chain radar two weeks ago, when it landed 16.87 BTC, equivalent to $1.01 million.&nbsp;
The funds came from another unknown address under the name "bc1qcacv." Then, eight days later, the new whale received another 176.616&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/btc-eth-and-xrp-price-prediction-for-september-23" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>, worth another $10.63 million, and its activity stopped for a while.&nbsp; <img alt="&quot;&quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="95cac895-d50d-452e-95eb-9a240a829eb6" src="https://u.today/sites/default/files/inline-images/arkbtc.png">Source: <a href="https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/address/bc1qmpn0l7adx483u5q6ss6z50xswdx80u6tz3w6ql" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Arkham Intelligence</a>
However, in the last 24 hours, an unknown large player began to aggressively absorb&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/china-confirms-interest-rate-cut-will-bitcoin-skyrocket" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> again, and from the same address where they initially received it. As a result, the total share of their holdings of the main cryptocurrency came to a mark equivalent to colossal $770.49 million.&nbsp;

Interestingly, the address from which the unknown whale received the funds also contains a significant amount of Bitcoin, namely 11,477 BTC, which is equivalent to $728.92 million.
It is known that the first address that sent funds to "bc1qmpn" received its first BTC from a wallet that could presumably belong to&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/ripple-drops-fortress-acquisition-deal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Fortress Trust</a>, a crypto custodian and trustee.&nbsp;
However, whether this colossal amount of Bitcoin, which could be worth over a billion and a half dollars cumulatively, belongs to this company cannot be said for sure. It is possible that the funds belong to one of the trustee's clients.
