Bullish Bitcoin signal. Whales launch biggest buying spree since 2013

Last Updated on 17 April 2026 by CryptoTips.eu

‘Bitcoin Whales’ are investors who own 10,000 or more Bitcoins, and have usually purchased those ten years or more ago. Back around 2016, you could still buy Bitcoins for $100 to $500 apiece, a price we can only dream of now.

They are therefore important players in the crypto market that we monitor closely, as their transactions often predict major market trends. In recent weeks, we have seen Whales buying Bitcoins en masse, a very bullish signal.

September 2025

Whales frequently provide buy or sell signals. For instance, they were among the first to start selling their Bitcoins in late September last year. A few weeks later, Bitcoin reached a record price, after which a decline of several months set in.

In the past 30 days, ever since the (probable) bottom of around $60,000, Bitcoin Whales have purchased an impressive total of 270,000 Bitcoins. This amounts to nearly $20.2 billion at the current price of the largest cryptocurrency.

Analysts claim that this is the biggest buying spree we have seen at Whales do since 2013. A very bullish signal, therefore.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin itself is trading at $74,600 and has already shown three weeks of uninterrupted growth.
