On-chain data shows that Bitcoin whales have continued to accumulate recently as the asset has been trying to make a push toward recovery.<\/p>\n
According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment<\/a>, the whales have bought around $3.5 billion in the digital asset since the first week of April. The relevant indicator here is the “BTC Supply Distribution<\/a>,” which tells us about the total amount of Bitcoin that each wallet group in the market is holding right now.<\/p>\n The wallet groups here refer to cohorts of addresses divided based on the total number of coins that they are carrying in their balances currently. In the context of the current discussion, the 1,000-10,000 coins group is the one of interest.<\/p>\n Naturally, this cohort would include all addresses or investors who are holding at least 1,000 BTC and at most 10,000 BTC. As the only holders that own such large wallets would be the whales<\/a>, this group can provide insight into the behavior of these humongous investors.<\/p>\n If n the Supply Distribution is applied for this specific cohort, it would track the combined amount of Bitcoin that all the whales falling inside this range are holding currently.<\/p>\n Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the BTC Supply Distribution for the whales over the last few months:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As displayed in the above graph, the 1,000-10,000 coins group has registered an increase in its supply recently. More specifically, since the first week of April (that is, just before the rally had hit what has so far been the top), the whales have added around 131,600 BTC (worth about $3.5 billion at the current exchange rate) to their wallets.<\/p>\nThe value of the metric seems to have been going up in recent days | Source: Santiment on Twitter<\/a><\/pre>\n
