On-chain data shows that a large holder spent $2.68 million on January 1st to buy 3,000 BTC call options expiring on January 30th, with a strike price set at $100,000. This move clearly indicates a bet on the upside potential of Bitcoin.

In a short period, this options position has already yielded significant returns. The price of each option soared from the purchase price to 0.0195 BTC, equivalent to approximately $1,813 per contract, with an unrealized profit of over $2.46 million. Calculating the return, this trade's profit margin is quite substantial.

Such large-scale bullish options positioning typically reflects optimistic expectations from major institutions or experienced traders regarding the recent BTC market trend. After all, risking such a large amount at the beginning of January to buy call options must be backed by confidence in the market's upward movement.

The big players' move this time is really aggressive, with $2.68 million all-in on bullish options. They're betting everything on Bitcoin skyrocketing. Floating profit of $2.46 million? That's so awesome. Why don't I have such a big move? Pushing $100,000 as the line, it seems that major institutions have already calculated this in their minds. But on the other hand, options are indeed risky. You can make money so quickly, but you can also lose it just as fast.

This move by the big players is really incredible. They directly invested 2.68 million in options, and now the unrealized profit is almost 2.5 million. Such a move...

This big player's intuition is truly sharp. They went all-in on the bullish side at the beginning of January, and now it's doubled. A quick unrealized profit of 2.46 million, such a scale... I can only admire remotely. Ten thousand dollars as the strike price is really daring, indicating there is solid data backing it. Why does it seem like these large-scale options strategies are becoming more frequent lately? Are they genuinely optimistic or just trapping the chives? An unrealized profit of 2.46 million, and they haven't cashed out yet. Could there be a plot twist before expiration?

Damn, this guy really dares to play, throwing in 2.68 million like that. Waiting for January 30th to see the result. If this wave doubles, I might have to reconsider my life. $100,000 strike price... What is this big player betting on? A floating profit of 2.46 million is already pretty awesome, what more do you want? This pace... It really feels like someone is betting on breaking 100,000.
