MARA Holdings moved 996 bitcoin worth about $81m to Galaxy Digital on October 9, a transfer the analytics firm Lookonchain flagged as a possible sale. The on-chain data cannot confirm a sale, and MARA's filings already show its treasury fell to 35,577 bitcoin from 49,951 a year earlier.

Viral $197M Fidelity Bitcoin Sale Claim Remains Unconfirmed as Arkham Clarifies Separate Strategy-Linked Transfers Were Internal Custody Moves
Arkham Intelligence says 3,568 bitcoin tied to a viral claim of a $197 million Fidelity sale moved inside Fidelity Custody on Sept. 29 and were not sold. Fidelity holds coins in those wallets for institutional clients, so a large on-chain transfer cannot by itself show who is selling.

US government wallets moved about $470 million of seized Bitfinex- and Alameda-linked crypto to likely Coinbase Prime addresses, Arkham said. Trump's reserve order lets officials repay victims from seized coins, so even a sale of this pool would say little about the pledge to keep reserve bitcoin.

US government wallets sent 833.6 BTC, worth about $71.6 million, toward Coinbase Prime on Oct. 7, roughly 0.26% of the bitcoin they still hold. The risk that the stash comes to market depends far more on the executive orders limiting sales of reserve bitcoin than on transfers this small.

Arkham Intelligence says wallets tied to LIBRA's Kelsier Ventures now hold about $2 million, down from nearly $300 million in February 2025. Because about $100 million of that was USDC and SOL, a falling LIBRA price cannot explain the drop on its own.

Grayscale's 1.5% fee pays it what BlackRock's 0.25% pays on six times the assets
IBIT took in about $1.08bn over 20 days while GBTC lost $254.7m. But 1.5% on $10bn still collects roughly $150m a year, the same as 0.25% on $60bn, so a cut would cost Grayscale more than the outflows do.
