According to Galaxy Digital, this sale is part of the investor's "larger-scale estate planning strategy". In other words, this is not simply a profit-taking move, but a systematic arrangement of asset transfer, distribution, and preservation. This level of transaction also reflects the trend of early crypto investors gradually considering market exit or wealth restructuring.

The market briefly dropped to 115K but quickly broke through the $117,500 mark again. Although this transaction totals over $9 billion, the market did not experience a significant price collapse, but instead showed strong absorption, demonstrating Bitcoin's current liquidity and resilience.
