Fact Check
The statement is strongly supported by two pieces of evidence (Sources 8 and 10), which are from the same article on ainvest.com. The article explicitly states that a 'Bitcoin OG' (an early holder) transferred 'BTC, valued at approximately $136 million' to the Hyperliquid platform. While other provided sources discuss different whale movements, this source directly corroborates all key elements of the claim.
