BULLISH 📈 : Long-Term Bitcoin Holders Buy $14 Billion Amid Retail Exit

Seventeen of the top 25 largest Bitcoin ETF holders increased their positions, contrasting with retail investors who have been selling. This divergence highlights differing market strategies between institutional and individual players.

Key Developments

  • Bitcoin ETFs attracted $1.5 billion over five trading days, including a single-day inflow of $458 million.
  • Institutional investors now hold about 12% of Bitcoin's total supply.
  • Bitcoin traded around mid-$60,000, down from an October peak of $126,200.
  • Retail investors have been rapidly selling since the peak, while institutions continue to accumulate.

Long-Term Holder Activity

  • Long-term holders added 212,000 BTC in the past month, valued at over $14 billion.
  • CryptoQuant's data shows a shift towards accumulation after a period of selling throughout most of 2025.

Bitcoin dipped to around $60,000 on February 6, marking a 15% pullback. This drop attracted long-term buyers, potentially indicating bullish sentiment as it reduces available supply.
