Bitcoin continues to be incredibly bearish amid negative market headwinds but that has not stopped investors from taking their positions during this time. These large investors who are holding more than $600,000 worth of Bitcoin have been accumulating BTC at an accelerated rate over the last six months.
Bitcoin Holders Increase Wallet Holdings
On-chain data tracking platform, Santiment, recently that Bitcoin investors have been increasing their holdings over the last six months. According to the report posted on X (formerly Twitter), the major cohort involved in this buying are the wallets holding more than 10 BTC in their wallets.The report shows that over the last six months, these holders have increased their collective holdings by 1.07%. While this may seem like only a small increase, it translates to over 5,000 BTC that these wallets have added in the space of half a year.
USDT And USDC Holdings Supports Accumulation Theory
One thing that also suggests that these whales have been buying Bitcoin aggressively over the last six months is the change in the USDT and USDC holdings of wallets. Usually, investors will hold these stablecoins as a way to avoid market volatility and wait for better prices.
What this shows is a willingness to buy Bitcoin at these low prices in anticipation of a price recovery. If this buying continues, it could created a much-needed support for the BTC price at $60,000, increasing the possibility of a price increase from here.
