Bitcoin Whales Boost Long-Term Holder Supply as Mid-Tier Sellers Retreat
On‑chain data shows Bitcoin’s long‑term holder supply has climbed to an all‑time high, indicating growing confidence among investors who lock their coins for extended periods. At the same time, cryptocurrency analyst Amr Taha reports that large whales (wallets holding 1,000–10,000 BTC) accumulated roughly 66,700 BTC in the past 60 days, while mid‑tier holders (100–1,000 BTC) disposed of about 77,800 BTC, marking one of the most aggressive sell‑offs for that group.
The shift transfers supply toward larger wallets, reducing the amount of Bitcoin immediately available on exchanges. Analysts suggest this tightening of liquid supply could amplify price movements if demand rises, offering a potentially constructive medium‑term signal despite no guarantee of price direction. Corporate holder Strategy raised $263.5 million through stock sales rather than purchasing Bitcoin, underscoring a cautious approach amid the supply dynamics.
