Collins-Linked Wallet Sends Fifth 500 BTC Batch in 2026

A wallet linked by blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence to Clifton Collins sent 500 bitcoin to an address labeled Coinbase Prime on October 20, marking the fifth 500-BTC transfer from Collins-linked wallets in 2026. Arkham’s tally puts the year’s movements at 2,500 BTC. The October transfer was valued at about $41.5 million in reports, while the 2,500 BTC moved this year was valued at approximately $208 million. Those figures reflect reported valuations, not confirmation that the bitcoin was sold. Blockchain records show the October coins came from funds received in January 2016. After the transfer, the receiving address split the bitcoin into 42 outputs, including 40 transfers of exactly 10 BTC each. The transaction history does not identify who authorized the movement or establish what happened to the funds afterward. The transfer follows earlier movements of 500 BTC in March, May, July and August, according to the reported sequence. Ireland’s Criminal Assets Bureau has publicly confirmed recovering a total of 1,500 BTC by July. The October transfer has not been confirmed as part of that recovery, and Irish authorities have not publicly established their role in it....
