Dogecoin: Whales Buy 240 Million, Price Falls Anyway

Dogecoin is caught between two opposing moves. Large addresses collected 240 million DOGE between September 9 and 14, while over the same period the price slipped from $0.091 to $0.081. On Sunday, September 20, 2026, DOGE stands at $0.0847 according to CoinGecko data, the equivalent of 7.4 cents, and is therefore 3.5 percent below the previous day.

What is documented in this article is the price data, the purchases by the large addresses and the fund figures. Where the text turns to further price movement, it is an assessment by the editorial team, and we mark it as such.

Dogecoin price: the figures at a glance

The daily range ran from $0.0846 to $0.0911. Over the week DOGE is up 1.4 percent, over 30 days 0.4 percent. Market capitalization stands at around $13.2 billion, which puts Dogecoin in 12th place. DOGE worth roughly $1.04 billion changed hands within 24 hours. Just under 156 billion tokens are in circulation, and unlike Bitcoin there is no upper limit: new ones arrive every minute. The price is a good 88 percent away from its all-time high of $0.73 from May 2021.

240 million DOGE in five days: what the large addresses did

The figure comes from a blockchain analysis by the analyst Ali Martinez and was picked up on September 16 by CoinGape. Over those five days the price fell, and the large addresses bought all the same. At a price of around $0.085, 240 million DOGE amount to some $20 million.
