Tim Draper denies moving Bitcoin, reiterates $250,000 BTC prediction
Summary
Tim Draper denied moving any Bitcoin after blockchain analysts linked a wallet “possibly tied” to him to a 1,000 BTC transfer, worth about $62 million, to Coinbase Prime. Draper said, “Haven’t touched my BTC,” and repeated his forecast that Bitcoin will hit $250,000 within a year. The attribution came from Lookonchain and Arkham, but the wallet label was only tentative, underscoring how hard it is to confirm ownership from blockchain data alone. Draper is a major early Bitcoin buyer, having won a 2014 US Marshals auction for nearly 30,000 BTC seized from Silk Road-related holdings. His $250,000 target has been repeated for years and has missed prior deadlines. Bitcoin was trading around $62,530 at the time cited.
