Long-Term Bitcoin Holders Report Average Profit of 220%

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost reports that long-term holders of Bitcoin currently have an average unrealized profit of 220%, a level not seen since the October 2024 market dip. This figure is lower than previous peaks, indicating many holders purchased at higher price levels.

Profit Levels Compared to Historical Peaks

  • In March 2024, the MVRV ratio reached 300% when Bitcoin was at $74,500.
  • In December 2024, it peaked at 350% with Bitcoin priced at $108,000.
  • The current gain of 220% shows that long-term holders bought at an average cost of $33,800.

Price Targets for Higher Profits

  • To reach a 300% profit, Bitcoin needs to rise to $135,200.
  • A price of approximately $154,400 would restore a 357% profit level.

Historically, long-term holders experienced unrealized profits of 4,000% during the December 2017 peak and 1,230% in April 2021. Current trading price stands at $106,750, showing stability over the last 24 hours.

Lower profit margins may reduce selling pressure among long-term holders, potentially enabling further price increases. However, on-chain data must be assessed alongside broader market dynamics, as external factors can influence price movements.
