The date is July 30 on a typical Wednesday afternoon, but the move was anything but ordinary. Fifty wallets—each created between June 10 and July 31, 2017—shifted a hefty haul of bitcoin ( BTC) in unison, according to metrics parsed by btcparser.com.

The anonymous whale dispatched exactly 10 BTC from each address, totaling 500.01148 BTC. At the time these coins were originally acquired, bitcoin floated between $2,500 and $2,650 apiece. That places their 2017 value at $1.32 million.

Fast forward to today, with BTC prices on the low end fetching $116,404 per coin, and that same batch now holds a jaw-dropping $58.2 million. Of the total, 400 BTC flowed into a brand new Pay-to-Witness-Public-Key-Hash (P2WPKH) address from 40 legacy Pay-to-Public-Key-Hash (P2PKH) wallets.

The remaining 100 BTC was directed to a second, also new and unidentified, P2WPKH wallet. Blockchair’s privacy meter slapped most of these transfers with a score of 3 out of 100—classified as “critical.” The reasons? Matching inputs and outputs, address reuse, and complete wallet sweeps.
