Bitcoin whale that sold near $89,000 buys back 3,000 BTC at lower prices

A Bitcoin whale that went quiet for more than a year is back, and it came back with a shopping list. The wallet pulled 3,009 $BTC, worth approximately $228 million at the time, off Binance, according to on-chain analytics firm Lookonchain.

The timing is the interesting part. This is the same address that previously sent 5,699 $BTC to Binance when Bitcoin was trading near $89,000. It is now taking coins back at a noticeably lower price.

What the wallet did

Lookonchain flagged the activity on November 6, 2026. It described the movement as the address’s first significant on-chain action in over a year.
