Bitcoin Liquidity Hits Record $14.3 Million BTC as 72% of Supply Is Locked Up by Long-Term Holders

Bitcoin’s illiquid supply has surged to a record $14.3 million BTC, with an astounding 72% of the total supply held by long-term holders. This significant increase in locked-up Bitcoin is fueling speculation about potential price surges and market volatility. Analysis suggests that this surge coincides with institutions like Blackrock aggressively buying Bitcoin and growing demand for Bitcoin ETFs. This has led to a further accumulation of Bitcoin from whales and smaller investors, increasing the pressure on supply. With nearly 20 million out of the total 21 million BTC already mined, the competition to accumulate more Bitcoin intensifies.
