A Bitcoin whale that had stayed inactive for four years has started selling, according to on-chain tracker Lookonchain. The wallet recently offloaded 1,400 BTC worth about $111.61 million. The same holder had received 2,200 BTC four years ago at an average price of $45,024, putting the original position at roughly $99.05 million. Lookonchain said the whale did not sell even when unrealized profit had climbed as high as $178 million. The address has now begun reducing its Bitcoin holdings, with cumulative realized profit standing at about $76.5 million based on the monitored activity. The move puts a long-dormant large holder back on the market after years without action.
