Recently, Bitcoin's performance is indeed worth paying attention to. Data shows that BTC has surged to around $97,000, with a daily increase of over 3%, a market cap surpassing $1.93 trillion, and a circulating supply of 19,976,200 coins. Behind this is not just a simple price increase.
The actions of institutions speak volumes. MSTR directly invested $1.25 billion to buy 13,627 BTC, at an average price of $91,519. Now they hold 687,410 coins, accounting for about 3.2% of the total network, with an unrealized profit of over 28%. This is no small feat. Meanwhile, Bitcoin spot ETFs are also active—daily net inflows of $844 million, with BlackRock's IBIT alone taking in $648 million. Funds are continuously flowing in.
On-chain data also tells the story. The number of whale addresses holding more than 100 coins has hit a new all-time high. What does this mean? Large holders are accumulating coins. But it’s important to stay sober—there’s still about 12% room before reaching previous highs, and within 24 hours, some traders chasing the high are getting liquidated.
Why can Bitcoin continue to attract capital? There are only 21 million coins in total, making it inherently scarce. The PoW mechanism ensures security, and the decentralized design makes manipulation nearly impossible. On a macro level, the Federal Reserve signals dovishness, and US crypto legislation is also progressing. Technological upgrades like the Lightning Network and Taproot make payment applications increasingly practical. In the long run, this logic still holds.
If you really want to participate, here are a few strategies to consider:
The first is dollar-cost averaging. Invest a little each week, not too much, and don’t be scared by fluctuations of a few dollars. Long-term players typically have an entry cost between $50,000 and $70,000.
The second is gradual deployment. Slowly add positions between $95,000 and $100,000. If the price accidentally drops below $90,000, buy a bit more. The key is not to go all-in at once—risk awareness is very important.
The third is knowing when to exit. Consider selling if it drops below $93,000, and reduce your position by about 30% when it reaches $105,000 to $110,000. Protecting your principal is the top priority.
Markets are always there, and opportunities are often present, but if you can’t protect your capital, everything else is meaningless.
Institutions play like this, retail investors can't follow suit? But don't forget, someone gets liquidated within 24 hours.
Holding 870,000 Bitcoins, with a 28% unrealized profit. The position is getting bigger and bigger...
Dollar-cost averaging is fine, but the only worry is getting caught holding the bag if you sell halfway.
If it drops below 93,000, should I sell? Easier said than done, who would be willing to sell at that time?
People who are all-in should be regretting now, haha.
BlackRock is buying 648 million in a day. Are they trying to buy BTC to the sky?
The talk about scarcity has become tiresome; the quantity is just there, and nothing can change that.
Long-term players' costs are between 50,000 and 70,000? They should have gotten in earlier.
Those still daring to chase the high now really have a big gambling spirit.
Hmm... institutions are all positioning, what are retail investors hesitating for?
Dollar-cost averaging or batching, in plain terms, don't be greedy; preserving principal is the key.
If it breaks below 93,000, I'll sell. I've noted this stop-loss point.
It must hurt a lot for those who chase highs and get liquidated. People who still go all-in at $97,000 are truly brave.
Dollar-cost averaging investors stay steadily profitable. Don't expect to get rich overnight; protecting your principal is more important than anything.
ETFs are absorbing over 800 million daily, the main players are constantly active.
If it drops below 93,000, I'll sell and run. That line is a red line, but I think it might push higher again.
The whale accumulation shows that smart money is optimistic about the long term, while retail investors are still worried about short-term fluctuations.
Bitcoin reached 97k in just two months? Think about who could have imagined two months ago—this is madness.
Whether to invest regularly or in batches, mainly don't go all-in, that's my opinion
Break below 93,000 and it's time to run, don't wait
BlackRock alone made 648 million, big institutions are just different.
Whales are accumulating coins, but I still think brothers chasing the high should be careful; liquidation is too common.
Dollar-cost averaging is really the safest, don't think about getting rich overnight.
Once 93,000 is broken, it's time to run. Protecting your principal is always the top priority, and that's right.
