This whale is currently witnessing a loss of roughly $46 million on their Bitcoin holdings as the flagship cryptocurrency consolidates below the $63,000 mark. 
Notably, this is not the only whale to accumulate at this time. Per a crypto.news report on Oct. 7, the number of addresses holding over $1 million worth of BTC <a href="https://crypto.news/addresses-holding-over-1m-in-bitcoin-increased-by-2k-in-5-days/" target="_blank">increased</a> by 2,000 between Sept. 29 and Oct. 2. 
According to data provided by IntoTheBlock, Bitcoin recorded a total of $109.96 billion in whale transactions consisting of at least $100,000 worth of BTC over the past seven days. The whale activity started to increase on Oct. 5 as the broader crypto market gained bullish momentum.
