Bitcoin Long Term Holders Reach Record Near $81K

Long-term Bitcoin holders have sharply increased their supply to about 16 million BTC, rising from 14.3 million late last year. The accumulation accelerated as investors bought aggressively during price dips near $60,000 earlier this year and again around $80,000 in November 2025. Reports show around 870,000 BTC moved from short-term to long-term holders since late April, signaling strong conviction while Bitcoin trades in a narrow range between $78,000 and $81,000. Analysts say this level of accumulation is among the largest ever and typically reflects reaccumulation phases that tighten supply, though some of the movement may also include older holders repositioning rather than entirely new demand.
