Someone just bet $1.2B on Bitcoin calls

A trader bought a massive batch of BTC call options, paying $50M in premiums. These options give the right to buy BTC at specific prices on set dates — and they’re ultra-bullish:

• $112K–$120K strikes for July 25 (3,750 BTC total)
• $115K & $140K strikes for Sept. 26 (7,600 BTC total)

Is this a bet on $120K BTC by late July — and $140K by September?
