Large whales and Bitcoin sharks suffer heavy losses in Q1 2026: approximately $188.5 million daily for sharks, and around $147.5 million daily for whales, with an average of $337 million daily.



Sharks: addresses holding 100-1,000 Bitcoin
Whales: addresses holding 1,000-10,000 Bitcoin

Total realized losses since the beginning of the year amount to about $30.9 billion, the highest quarterly figure for these two categories since the market crash in 2022.

Bitcoin price dropped by approximately 23% during the quarter (from about $88,000 to around $67,000), with sharp selling pressure on the blockchain.

Context is important: The realized loss indicator reflects the movement of coins at a loss on the main network, and often comes with a significant margin of error due to distributions among platform wallets or tax exploitation. Historically, major Bitcoin holders experiencing heavy losses coincided with decreases in circulating supply that precede market resets or bottoming out, though this does not guarantee an immediate rebound.
