According to recent data from CryptoQuant cited by Cointelegraph, Bitcoin long-term holders have accumulated an unprecedented 800,000 BTC over the past 30 days, marking the largest monthly net increase on record. Historically, only six other periods have seen net inflows exceeding 750,000 BTC within a month, notably in July 2021 and September 2024, both of which preceded significant price rallies. This trend underscores the growing confidence among institutional and retail investors in Bitcoin’s long-term value proposition.
Analysis reveals that long-term holders maintain an average acquisition cost between $95,000 and $107,000, slightly above the average cost basis of short-term holders, which stands near $93,000. This cost disparity highlights a strategic holding pattern, with long-term investors demonstrating resilience despite market fluctuations. Currently, long-term holders control approximately 68% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply, indicating a consolidation phase within the market.
Additionally, data from 2025 shows that “Satoshi Era” miners have sold a mere 150 BTC, reflecting an exceptionally strong holding mentality among early miners. This limited supply movement from foundational stakeholders further reinforces Bitcoin’s scarcity narrative and may contribute to sustained upward price momentum over time.
