Bitcoin Reserves Hit Record Low Amid Market Uncertainty

Bitcoin exchange reserves have fallen to roughly 2.7 million BTC, the lowest since 2018, as investors withdraw coins to private wallets and long‑term custody, tightening available supply. This outflow, partly driven by U.S. spot ETF and institutional accumulation, reduces immediate sell‑side liquidity and creates a structural supply squeeze that can amplify price moves. Meanwhile, about 40-45 % of Bitcoin’s circulating supply is held at a loss, a level seen in early bear phases, keeping traders cautious despite signs of reduced sell pressure.
