A respected Twitter account, @santimentfeed, had tweeted that some Bitcoin wallets holding at least 100 or more Bitcoins have added a combined 12,000 BTC to their holding, an estimated $108,000,000 (at $9,000 per coin).
Bitcoin price had risen to $9,791 on May 08 before Bitcoin Halving of May 12.

The digital currency plunged to $8,730 on Monday and hovered around that support levels until certain whales were reported to have acquired 12,000 BTC despite the uncertainties surrounding the cryptocurrency market.
