Don't worry my-dudes, I'm sure this is nothing. It's just Satoshi-era coins worth 5,000 x $17,000 = $85 million moving, and the rumor has it the recieving addresses are exchanges.
Just keep in mind, Mt Gox didn't really start until mid 2010, and by 2011 there was like 2 or 3 exchanges. So this isn't coinbase, Kraken, Genesis, or any other modern exchanges moving btc around.
Also, the 2010 one is from May, before bitcoin even had a price. There's MAYBE like 2 or 3 entities who controlled over 500 bitcoins from that era, and you know who one of them is (Voldemort).
This kinda stuff has been happening since Q1 2020 (bonded courier mean anything to you?).
Look, I'll anticipate I dunno the answers to your questions, and I've got other things to do, to be blockchain hunting anymore, but ask @77 bc he's just as good at this detective stuff as I am (and seriously, I don't care bc I"ve long ago gotten the answers to all my questions— thru painstaking time-consuming research that is).
What I CAN tell you is: in the past Voldemort-stamped coins have moved in 2,000 at a time, and this one is 4,000 roughly.
But one thing I CAN tell you, it's unlikely these old-ass coins are moving because someone wants to use them to buy Solana, or collateralize them to buy MORE btc.
And lastly, at LEAST look up if the corresponding bch or bsv has moved before asking me any questions, or again ask Liam.

OK, couldn't resist a cursory check of at least whether the bch or bsv moved. This is a familiar pattern with Voldemort-coins in the past…
Someone thinks BSV & BCH > btc
186C6SJ16yFqGbDbfvSfFoujSP2Ph235HJ was a match with the Exhibit 7 list.
And those coins end up on bc1q2f0tczgrukdxjrhhadpft2fehzpcrwrz549u90 which definitely looks like an exchange address.
