  • A user reported that BTC whales have accumulated over 30,000 BTC, worth $1 billion in 7 days.

Earlier today, crypto analyst James Straten tweeted that the number of Bitcoin whales holding over 1K BTC has been on the rise during the latter half of this year. According to him, whales buy cheaper BTC during bear markets to increase their holdings before dumping them for profit in bull markets.

On October 19, data from Cryptoslate reported that Bitcoin had been experiencing “exceptional accumulation across all cohorts in Oct. 2023.” Moreover, the holdings peaked in July, just before Bitcoin started its upward journey from $30,000. This data highlights the significant confidence and active involvement of Bitcoin holders, regardless of whether they hold less than one Bitcoin or more than 10,000 BTC.
