<p>The Bitcoin whale activity has shot up significantly in recent times with the Bitcoin price surging by more than 5% in the last 24 hours and moving all the way to $63,000. On-chain data shows that a dormant Bitcoin wallet recently woke up after nearly 12 years transferring a massive sum of 1,000 BTC.</p> 
<h2 id="satoshi-era-bitcoin-whale-wakes-up">Satoshi Era Bitcoin Whale Wakes Up</h2> 
<p>On-chain data provider Spot On Chain identified that a dormant Bitcoin wallet, identified as “1EhXAfST,” became active just a few hours ago after staying silent for nearly 11.8 years. This dormant wallet has transferred a total of 1,000 BTC, worth a staggering $60 million, to two new wallets.</p> 
<p>As per the details, this BTC wallet received these 1,000 BTC nearly 12 years ago in September 2012. Back then, each Bitcoin was trading at $12.06 per BTC, thereby making the total invested value of $12,060. Now, the value of the same Bitcoins has shot up to a staggering $60 million.</p>

<p>This movement probably suggests that the whale could be looking for some profit book as the <a href="https://coingape.com/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin price</a> recovers back to $63,000.&nbsp; Although the Satoshi Whale has moved 1,000 BTC to other wallets, it’s less likely to impact the Bitcoin price in the near term.</p> 
<p>This is because BTC has seen massive accumulation taking place over the past week when the BTC price plummeted to $53,500. In the fastest <a href="https://coingape.com/markets/bitcoin-price-eyes-70k-rally-holders-accumulate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BTC accumulation</a> since April 2023, the Bitcoin whales scooped a total of 71,000 Bitcoins over the past week worth a staggering $4.3 billion.</p>

<p><a href="https://coingape.com/us-bitcoin-etf-see-1-1-billion-inflow-this-week-btc-holdings-at-all-time-high/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spot Bitcoin ETFs</a> made a pretty solid comeback last week accumulating $1.1 billion worth of BTC. Also, the total BTC holdings by the US Bitcoin ETFs have touched a new all-time high and could surpass 1 million BTC if the accumulation continues at the same pace.</p> 
<p>According to CryptoQuant, Bitcoin whales are now accumulating BTC at the fastest rate, measured by a 30-day moving average, since April 2023. This surge in accumulation follows the collapse of several local banks in the US earlier this year.</p>
