Bitcoin Long-Term Holders Control 75% of Circulating Supply: Glassnode

Long-term bitcoin (BTC) holders, or addresses that hold coins for at least 155 days, now control a record three-fourths of the cryptocurrency’s circulating supply.

  • Data tracked by blockchain analytics firm Glassnode show the balance held in these wallets has increased by 62,882 BTC ($1.83 billion) to a record 14.52 million BTC this month, surpassing the previous peak of 14.48 million BTC registered on May 21.

  • The new high means holders own 75% of the circulating supply of 19.437 million BTC.

  • Circulating supply refers to the total number of coins that are actively available for trade in the market.

  • “This suggests HODLing is the preferred market dynamic amongst mature investors,” Glassnode tweeted.

  • The rate of flow into wallets controlled by illiquid entities, or network participants with little-to-no spending history, also remains strong, suggesting continued accumulation and weakening of sell-side pressures in the market. The number of coins held by these illiquid entities has surged by over 90,000 BTC this month.
