Marathon Digital transferred 1,318 BTC, worth about $86.9 million, in multiple transactions to institutional counterparts including Two Prime, BitGo and Galaxy Digital, according to on-chain trackers and media reports [1][2][3].

On-chain data cited by Cryptopolitan reported a 653.77 BTC transfer to Two Prime and separate 99.99 BTC and 280 BTC transfers to BitGo; CoinDesk described the largest allocation as more than 660 BTC to Two Prime. CryptoNews said the moves were executed over roughly 10 hours as bitcoin slipped toward about $64,000 [1][2][3].

Coverage noted the transfers occurred amid a volatility-driven market move and that traders were watching for possible miner selling; EthNews characterized the activity as routed to institutional trading venues during the volatility [4][3].

The transaction traces were attributed to on-chain analysis (Arkham/Lookonchain) and reported by multiple outlets, which identified trading desks and custody providers as the recipients of Marathon’s BTC [1][2].
