BlockDAG Presale Surges to $371M on Whale Activity and Strategic Hires

BlockDAG’s presale has reached $371 million in fundraising, driven by a notable surge in whale activity following a strategic hiring spree in February [1]. Blockchain data reveals a sharp increase in large-scale transactions, with multiple five-figure purchases recorded in the ledger. This influx of capital has maintained a steady and strong fundraising trajectory, with Batch 29 currently priced at $0.0276 and total sales reaching 24.7 billion coins [1].

The hiring of senior executives with a track record in scaling blockchain ventures has been a key catalyst. These high-profile appointments have signaled to the market that BlockDAG is now backed by experienced leadership, prompting whales—large investors who move in significant volumes—to commit substantial capital. The timing suggests that these investors were assessing both the technical fundamentals and operational strength of the project before making large-scale entries [1].

On-chain activity further confirms sustained whale demand. Since February, there has been a measurable uptick in large transactions, with millions in new capital entering the project within a short period. These transactions were not random or fragmented but rather concentrated and methodical, reflecting long-term investment strategies. Early participants from Batch 1 have already realized gains of 2,660% compared to the current price, highlighting the growth potential ahead of the $0.05 launch price [1].

The project has also maintained momentum through strategic announcements, including technical upgrades and partnership developments. Each milestone appears to reinforce market confidence, sustaining interest and contributing to the presale’s overall success. The February surge, in particular, demonstrates a feedback loop in which whale entries validate the project’s credibility, encouraging broader participation and driving further capital inflows [1].

With $371 million raised and ongoing growth, BlockDAG is considered one of the top presale projects of 2025. The combination of strong leadership, verifiable on-chain activity, and strategic engagement has created a compelling narrative that continues to attract attention. The project’s fundraising curve remains sharp, indicating a rare level of sustained interest in the competitive presale market [1].
