An early Bitcoin (BTC) investor has sold 80,000 BTC through Galaxy Digital, in what the digital asset company described as one of the largest notional transactions in crypto history, though details regarding the date and execution price were not disclosed.
Galaxy Digital’s disclosure of the sale first appeared on PR Newswire late Friday, followed by a post on the company’s official blog about 30 minutes later. Cointelegraph reached out to Galaxy Digital for further details on the transaction, and although the company declined to comment further, they did confirm the authenticity of the press release.
Galaxy did not reveal the client’s identity but stated that the “transaction was part of the investor’s broader real estate planning strategy.”
