$9 Billion Bitcoin Sale from Galaxy Digital

$9 Billion Bitcoin Sale Shakes Crypto Markets

Galaxy Digital’s single client sold $9 billion worth of Bitcoin in the fourth quarter of 2025. This sale had a significant impact on the crypto markets. CEO Mike Novogratz stated that the process took time similar to an Initial Public Offering (IPO) distribution.

Novogratz emphasized that this sale was part of a trend of taking profits among Bitcoin's early adopters. Thus, signs emerged that investor confidence in the HODLing philosophy was weakening.

Additionally, concerns over quantum computing were cited as one of the reasons for this sale. Industry leaders discussed proactive measures to ensure that cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano become more resilient against quantum threats.
