Bitcoin Holder Behavior Reveals Interesting Patterns Through October 2025

Glassnode’s “Trend Accumulation Score by Cohort” is showing some pretty fascinating Bitcoin holder patterns lately. It’s kind of surprising what we’re seeing.

This on-chain metric sorts Bitcoin wallets by size. Small fish to whales. <1 BTC all the way to the giants with >10k BTC. It tracks if they’re buying or selling.

The latest data tells a story. August 2024 to October 2025. Distinct patterns.

Medium-sized holders got greedy during the dip. Those with 10-100 BTC and 100-1k BTC went on a shopping spree during February-March 2025’s correction. Deep red zones on the heatmap. They bought the fear.

The whales seem confident. Really confident. Holders with >10k BTC have been steadily accumulating since March 2025. Their scores sit between 0.8-1.0. Red hot. Institutions believe. Long-term bullish?

But not everyone held. After November 2024’s price jump, many sold. Dark blue zones appeared across several groups. Profit-taking. Can’t blame them.

Small holders acted differently. The <1 BTC crowd stayed mostly neutral. White and light yellow zones. They don’t seem too bothered by price swings.

Watch the big players. When whales accumulate, prices often follow upward. When they distribute, corrections might be coming. Not always, but often enough to notice.

This tool gives us a window into different investor mindsets. It’s not entirely clear what happens next, but seeing how “smart money” positions itself might give us clues about future moves.
