Bitcoin Sharks and Whales Increase Holdings Ahead of Potential All-Time High

On-chain data indicates that large Bitcoin investors, categorized as those holding between 10 and 10,000 BTC, have increased their holdings recently as the price nears its all-time high.

Key Points

  • Investors in the 10 to 10,000 BTC range represent significant market influence, holding between $1 million to $1 billion.
  • According to analytics firm Santiment, these "sharks and whales" added approximately 83,100 BTC over the past month.
  • Earlier in the month, these investors sold some of their holdings following a recovery beyond $97,000, likely for profit-taking.
  • Currently, they are again accumulating Bitcoin without signs of profit-taking, which may support further price increases.
  • In contrast, smaller investors holding less than 0.1 BTC have been selling, possibly indicating bearish sentiment among them.
  • The analysis suggests Bitcoin could breach its previous high of $110K due to large investor accumulation and recent market conditions.
