Satoshi-Era Whale Wakes Up With $84M

Satoshi-Era Whale Wakes Up With $84M

January 16–22, 2026 | Market Mood: 😐 Confused, Twitchy, and Not Having Fun

DayTrading Dispatch
January 23, 2026

🔥 Featured: 🤑Satoshi-Era Wallet Just Moved 909 BTC. That’s $84M and a 1.39M% Gain

You don’t sit on a wallet since 2011, then suddenly move 909 BTC the week of an FOMC decision, unless you’re making a statement.

A Bitcoin wallet dormant for 13 years just sent 909.38 BTC (~$84.6M) in one shot.

Cost basis: ~$7
Unrealized gain: ~1,390,000%

It survived Mt. Gox, China bans, two market cycles, and two U.S. presidents — and only woke up now.

👉🏼 Why it matters: The BTC didn’t hit an exchange. It was sent to a modern SegWit (bech32) wallet — meaning the holder (or heir) is alive, knows what they’re doing, and is exploring options… not panicking.

👉🏼 Why now: BTC sits near $91K, well below its $124K peak. OGs with near-zero cost don’t need hopium , they need clean exits.

🫤 Bottom line: Not bullish. Not bearish. Just a signal: the old whales still watch… and they don’t move for nothing.

👀 Markets will be tracking this wallet like a hawk.

📑 Read the full breakdown.

💀 THIS WEEK IN CHAOS

📉 BTC back to square one

Bitcoin dropped under $88K… then bounced near $90K after Trump eased up on tariffs at Davos. The asset didn’t change, the headlines did.
👉 Trade the news or get traded by it.

🏦 Iran Bought Half a Billion in USDT

Over $500M in Tether just got traced back to Iran’s central bank. They're likely propping up the Rial and dodging dollars.
👉 USDT isn’t just a stablecoin, it’s global duct tape now.

🐘 Bitmine Bought the Dip, Again

Bitmine added 35K+ ETH ($108M) even as ETH dipped below $3K. They’re now holding 4.2M ETH total.
👉 Smart money loves red candles. Always has.

🚔 OneCoin assets still getting seized

Authorities just seized $11.4M more from the OneCoin scam. The Cryptoqueen’s long gone… but the cleanup ain’t.
👉 Scams don’t die. They just quietly rot.

🧱 Saylor’s Shopping Spree Continues

MicroStrategy bought another $2.1B in BTC — 22,305 coins at an average of ~$76K. That brings their stack to 709K BTC.
👉 Saylor’s not buying dips. He’s buying dominance.

🧪 Poll of the Week: “Very Soon™” vs. Reality

At Davos, President Trump said he hopes to sign a crypto market structure bill “very soon.” Back home, Congress is still stuck in a food fight.

Between Coinbase, the banking lobby, and stablecoin rules, the window for real reform is already closing, and a two-year delay is on the table.

If this drags, lawmakers risk doing what the U.S. does best: exporting innovation and importing regret. So what actually happens next?

👉 Vote wisely. Policy moves slower than markets, but the consequences last longer.
