This one has to belong to one of the most richest Bitcoin very early adopters, maybe even Satoshi. Rank 3 on the rich list and has never sent a bitcoin since 2011.
If you track it down, the sum in this address is derived directly from very early mining rewards that have never moved since they all got sent to this address in 2011.

This is the transaction that seeded the address

Why the hell would somebody consolidate 80,000 BTC of mining rewards in one address and then never move them? Has there ever been any information regarding this address?
80,000 BTC was already a lot in 2011


Edit: After looking more at the seed transactions, it seems this was most likely the cold wallet address of a service, an exchange perhapse. So there has to be some information regarding this address out there
