Bitcoin Whales Sell Out, Threatening Price Drop to $90K

Large Bitcoin whales are selling off significant holdings, potentially leading to a price drop below the $90,000 mark. This sell-off, which started in the third quarter of 2025 and continues through to late 2024, is attributed to institutional investors and early adopters selling their crypto assets. 2025’s market correction has seen large sales from OG Bitcoin whales – those who held bitcoin for seven years or more – exceeding $100 million. This activity significantly impacted the price of Bitcoin on exchanges globally. While retail investors are accumulating BTC at lower prices, this behavior is a stark contrast to institutional selling and has led to volatility. Historical patterns show similar sell-offs post-bull market peaks in 2018 and 2021, leading to major correction periods where smaller players capitalize on the price drops. Charles Edwards, founder of Capriole Investments, highlighted this trend as a key indicator for potential further market decline. As long-term selling continues, Bitcoin prices could plummet significantly, potentially falling below the $90,000 mark if economic conditions remain unfavorable.
