April has brought a turbulent period for cryptocurrency investors, with US President Donald Trump’s tariffs causing ripples in both crypto and traditional markets. Bitcoin experienced a significant drop to a five-month low of $74,500 on April 7th before recovering somewhat. However, it still stands over 7% down for the week. Despite these challenges, large entities are quietly accumulating Bitcoin, steadily removing it from circulation. This trend is evident in recent data that reveals a notable increase in realized cap – from $20 billion to around $160 billion between 2023 and 2025. This increase coincides with a substantial rise in holdings from 800,000 BTC to over 3 million BTC, showing larger holders are continuing to acquire Bitcoin at current prices.
