That whale sold 80kBTC through Galaxy Digital, meaning Galaxy has all the details about that whale's identity. Because they are a New York based financial company, they comply with legal regulations such as AML. They will not help someone sell bitcoins if they do not know the origin of those bitcoins and the identity of the owner. So I believe we have a chance of knowing the identity of that whale, which will be revealed at some point in the more distant future, not now.

By the way, I also believe this is the reason why bitcoin price corrected to $115,000 last week.

However the transaction was recorded under the name or description of the company as an investor during the Satoshi Nakamoto era.
I read several related articles, and this was also the largest purchase on the Galaxy exchange.
The likelihood of this identity being revealed is uncertain, because if someone were claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto, I'm sure he wouldn't be reckless enough to make such a large transaction on a single exchange.
Unless the transaction is unrelated to him, or if it was a Whale during the Satoshi Nakamoto era, or another named investor with no direct connection to him.
This remains a difficult puzzle to solve, and I'm confident Satoshi Nakamoto wouldn't do that because he's so anonymous and difficult to track.
