Long-term holders have been selling a lot of Bitcoin, but it’s less than you think.
15.1M BTC spent in 2025.
15.3M BTC spent in 2021.
But here’s the interesting part:
We now have two entirely new cohorts of long-term holders:
ETFs & Treasury Companies.
These two cohorts together now own roughly 12% of the Bitcoin supply.
Why do we care?
These two cohorts represent a new type of long-term holder.
ETFs can’t just dump everything, the asset managers generally need to keep a large reserve for their investor base & future demand.
Treasury Companies entire business model revolve around accumulating large amounts of $BTC over time.
This stabilizes price & generally makes our market more mature.
Diminishing returns also end in diminishing losses.
Crypto is changing.
