Bitcoin Whales Accumulate 70,000 BTC in 48 Hours, Signaling Conviction in Long-Term Potential
2025/01/04 14:13
After hitting a new all-time high of $108,268 last month, BTC continued to show remarkable strength this week.
This bullish momentum is signaling growing confidence among investors, especially high-net-worth individuals. Interestingly, Bitcoin whales, who are usually known for “buying the dip,” have flipped the script by scooping up massive amounts of BTC during its price highs.
Highlighting this development, renowned crypto analyst Ali Martinez revealed that whales acquired over 70,000 BTC within 48 hours. This staggering investment, valued at over $7.28 billion, underscores the conviction of big-money investors in Bitcoin's long-term potential.
On the other hand, despite Bitcoin's impressive price action, large holders are showing no signs of offloading their assets, according to CryptoQuant analyst CryptoOnchain.
In a recent post, the analyst highlighted the Realized profit ratio data, which tracks wallet activity across various size ranges (10-100 BTC, 100-1,000 BTC, and 1,000-10,000 BTC). The analyst noted that the data suggests that whales believe Bitcoin has not yet reached its peak in this market cycle.
“Compared to the all-time high (ATH) in previous cycles, it seems that the selling and profit-taking process by whales has not yet begun. This may indicate that, according to the whales, we are still not at the ATH range for this cycle,” the pundit wrote.
This heightened whale activity coincides with growing institutional interest in Bitcoin. Earlier this week, MicroStrategy, the business intelligence giant headed by Michael Saylor, announced its latest addition of 15,350 BTC to its holdings, bringing its total reserves to 439,000 BTC.
Mining companies have also joined the accumulation trend, with firms like Marathon Digital increasingly holding Bitcoin on their balance sheets.
However, broader corporate adoption remains minimal. For example, only 0.55% of Microsoft shareholders recently supported a proposal to create a Bitcoin reserve, while a similar initiative at Amazon saw just 0.01% approval. According to OKG Research, only 0.01% of global public companies currently hold Bitcoin, highlighting the largely untapped potential for institutional adoption.
Shifting macroeconomic conditions are also playing a role in Bitcoin's recent surge. As fears of inflation persist, skepticism toward traditional financial markets grows, and potential central bank rate cuts are anticipated in 2024, Bitcoin's narrative as a hedge asset is gaining renewed steam.
The digital scarcity of Bitcoin, combined with its decentralized nature, makes it an attractive store of value for institutional investors seeking alternatives to fiat currencies. Regulatory clarity in key markets, such as the United States, has further boosted confidence among investors.
Additionally, speculation around the potential approval of Bitcoin spot ETFs is driving anticipation of broader institutional participation.
As momentum builds, analysts are setting bold price targets for Bitcoin. On Monday, Bitfinex researchers projected a peak price of $200,000 for Bitcoin during the second half of 2025, driven by increasing institutional adoption and diminishing speculative volatility.
At press time, BTC was trading at $98,095, up 1.37% in the past 24 hours.
