Arkham Intelligence revealed in an X post that the Bitcoin whale began the transfer on March 23. In total, the whale sent 94,504 BTC, allocating $5.03B, $561.46M, and $488.40M worth of BTC to three new wallet addresses.

Another sizeable BTC transfer from an inactive wallet sent 6,500 BTC to new addresses in November 2023. Bitcoin Interest Heats Up with Spot Bitcoin ETF & Upcoming Halving Event.
