Whale Accumulation of Bitcoin Increases as Investor Confidence Grows

Bitcoin is experiencing increased accumulation activity among investors, particularly from whale wallets.

  • The number of unique whale entities holding at least 1,000 BTC rose from 1,392 to 1,417 in the past week.
  • This increase represents one of the highest whale counts in 2025, indicating renewed confidence among large-scale investors.
  • The Accumulation Trend Score shows that both whales and small holders (shrimps) are actively buying.
  • A score closer to 1 indicates strong accumulation; recent metrics indicate positive sentiment across all investor cohorts.
  • This level of accumulation has not been seen since November 2024, a period associated with bullish sentiment leading Bitcoin to reach $100,000.

Market observers suggest that this broad-based accumulation may position Bitcoin to challenge its all-time high soon.
