Perhaps someone plans to offer a BTC investment vehicle to potential non-technical investors and wants to provide them other "good data" beyond just exchange pricing. That entity could simply point to the sheer number of bitcoins transferred through the network as an "indicator" of its increased usage, knowing the average person wouldn't investigate the blockchain itself for something like this.

could be that or just someone holding lots of BTCs trying to make transaction statistics look good

or someone calibrating his script or measuring something in the network (confirmation time vs time)?
