長期間休眠していたビットコインウォレットが、日曜日に約4,000万ドル相当のBTCを新しいアドレスへ送金した。今回の動きは、暗号資産価格が8万700ドル付近で推移する中で発生した。ブロックチェーンのデータによると、これらのコインは2013年11月以来、一度も動かされていなかった。
ブロックチェーン追跡サービス「Whale Alert」によると、送金は協定世界時（UTC）の19時16分頃に行われた。資金はアドレス「1KAA8GGhVjjUjVTz1HKAjCyGNzAKQd882j」から「bc1qm6m6d33d02edr0k8yj9jgt027zl6dvx6thjrxy」へ移動した。宛先のウォレットは、既知の取引所とは関連付けられていない。
X（旧Twitter）のユーザーらは、2013年から休眠していたビットコインのクジラが4,000万ドル相当のBTCを移動させたことに注目し、取引所と関連のない新規ウォレットへの送金である点や、市場動向への影響について議論した。反応は、イベントを中立的に伝えるものから、相場上昇や売却シグナルの可能性を問うものまで多岐にわたった。一部のユーザーは、取引量の確認に注意を払うべきだと助言し、これを即座の強気シグナルではなく流動性の確保の一環と捉える見方を示した。

This is a narrative-liquidity setup, not a blind chase. Watch the related ticker/sector for continuation volume; no volume confirmation means no trade.#Bitcoin #BTC #Crypto #Markets #NFA pic.twitter.com/cZPbFM30O5

Bitcoin surged above $80,000 for the first time since January during early Asian trading on May 4, 2026, reaching highs around $80,600. The cryptocurrency later pulled back to around $79,000 following reports of an Iranian missile strike on a U.S. warship, which the U.S. denied. Geopolitical risks near the Strait of Hormuz overshadowed strong ETF inflows supporting the rally.
Bitcoin climbed above $82,000 on May 6, driven by reports of easing tensions between the United States and Iran. Oil prices fell sharply as President Donald Trump paused a military operation in the Strait of Hormuz. The move triggered more than $200 million in short liquidations.

Bitcoin traded around $72,700 on Thursday, maintaining gains above $70,000 but pausing its recent breakout without pushing toward $80,000. Ether also saw modest increases of less than 1%, as investors assessed macroeconomic risks and derivatives activity. Broader market indices for major cryptocurrencies rose about 3%, while sectors like DeFi showed little movement.
Strategy purchased 535 bitcoin last week for about 43 million dollars at an average price of 80,340 dollars per coin. The acquisition came days after the company signaled it might sell some holdings to fund dividends or retire debt. Executive chairman Michael Saylor said any such sales would have minimal net impact.
