Data from the blockchain shows that an early Bitcoin (BTC) investor sold 80,000 BTC through Galaxy Digital - a company specializing in facilitating large-scale cryptocurrency transactions. In a statement posted on their website, Galaxy Digital described this as one of the largest transactions in the history of digital currency.

The company did not disclose the identity of the client but claimed that "this transaction is part of a strategy to expand real estate investments." The announcement from Galaxy Digital came on a day when Bitcoin was volatile, at one point dropping below 115,000 USD.

Data from Lookonchain indicates that Galaxy Digital had large transactions throughout the day, before making the official announcement. The majority of the Bitcoin was sent directly to exchanges for sale on the market.
