The trade comes after the company cashed out and profited from its earlier moves on the ETH asset. According to blockchain data, the wallet bought around 17,000 Ether at an average price of $1,569 on three instances which include Jan. 13, Feb. 9 and March 14. The company spent around $26 million in total on the trades. 

When the price of Ether went up to $1,906 on July 5, the wallet sold around 11,000 ETH for a total of $21 million. This puts the profit of the wallet at $3.7 million from the Ether trades alone. The wallet currently holds a total of $80 million worth of various digital assets.
