A Bitcoin whale from 2009 has moved a large sum of BTC to Kraken, according to Arkham Intelligence. This “ancient” whale, who mined Bitcoin just a month after the cryptocurrency’s launch, transferred 10 BTC, worth $610,000, on Oct. 3. In total, the whale has moved $3.58 million since Sept. 24.
Previously dormant for almost a decade, the wallet—holding 1,169 BTC (around $72.4 million)—has sparked renewed speculation about Bitcoin’s early days and its pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.
Interestingly, this news comes ahead of HBO’s release of Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery, a documentary that promises to reveal Nakamoto’s true identity, with Len Sassaman, a cypherpunk who passed away in 2011, rumored to be the prime candidate.
