2012 '5K BTC OG' wallet sells 2,500 BTC to Binance after 12 years, locking >$500M profit and leaving 2,500 BTC — further liquidations could pressure BTC

The wallet known as “5K BTC OG” bought 5,000 BTC in 2012 (~$332/coin) and has begun systematic sell-offs: 2,500 BTC sold for roughly $265M at an average exit price of $106,164, and an additional 500 BTC moved to Binance (~$47.8M). Transfers appear methodical (250–500 BTC per transaction across at least 10 Binance-bound transfers in the past five months). The wallet still holds 2,500 BTC (~$237.5M) and its total profits exceed $500M; further liquidations could add selling pressure near current resistance levels (reporting via Lookonchain).
