Bitcoin whale moves 1,260.77 BTC now worth over $100M; 75 Casascius physical coins redeemed in early September

AI Market Summary
A 2016-era Bitcoin whale moved 1,260.77 BTC (over $100M) to an unknown P2WPKH address, and roughly 75 Casascius physical bitcoins were redeemed in early September. These events may increase near-term market attention on potential distribution versus custody reorganization, but they do not change network fundamentals. The main relevance is incremental supply mobility and monitoring for follow-on exchange inflows.

The coins, made from brass, silver and gold-plated materials, contain BTC stored via an embedded private key. "Stripping" or "redeeming" refers to peeling back the hologram seal to reveal the private key and move the associated bitcoin.
