$BTC


The on-chain picture is genuinely remarkable. Long-term holders now control 78.9% to 79% of Bitcoin's circulating supply—an all-time high that dwarfs every previous peak. To put that in perspective, the previous records were 74.5% during the 2022-2023 bottom zone and 71.5% in 2018-2019. And it's still climbing.
At the same time, nearly 11 million BTC are now held at a loss—also a record. But here's the kicker: those underwater coins aren't being sold. Old coin reactivation—dormant BTC moving after long periods of inactivity—stands at just 218,421 BTC year-to-date, the lowest level since 2012. Compare that to 2024, when 1.18 million BTC had been reactivated by June. The conviction holders are literally sitting on their hands.

11M BTC are trapped, yet no one is cutting losses; the activation volume of old coins has also hit the lowest level since 2012. This group of Holders is truly stubborn.

The 78.9% long-term holding ratio is insane; this chip structure is even more solid than the 2022 bottom, and I feel like I won't be fazed by the next major correction.

The supply is locked up so tightly that a liquidity crisis is bound to come sooner or later; by then, even if one small thing is pushed up—like a single pin going up—there probably won’t be anyone left to dump.
