Record Surge in Bitcoin Long-Term Holder Supply
Bitcoin long-term holders have just made history, increasing their BTC holdings by a record 800,000 BTC in a single month, according to fresh data from CryptoQuant. This unprecedented surge highlights a renewed wave of confidence among long-term investors, even as Bitcoin trades above $100,000 in 2025.
Only six times in Bitcoin’s history has a 30-day supply increase of more than 750,000 BTC been recorded. Notably, the two most recent spikes — in July 2021 and September 2024 — were followed by significant Bitcoin price rallies, making the current accumulation a potential bullish signal.
HODL Signal Strengthens as BTC Hits New Highs
The latest CryptoQuant report emphasizes that long-term holders (LTHs) — those who hold their BTC for over six months without selling — are doubling down despite all-time highs. In fact, the coins being added to this category were mostly purchased between $95,000 and $107,000, reinforcing this price range as a possible support zone for Bitcoin.
“This week brings a key signal from LTH that shouldn’t be overlooked,” said CryptoQuant contributor Darkfost, calling the 800K BTC accumulation a powerful trend that investors should factor into their strategy.
Short-Term Holders Hold the Line Around $100K
On the flip side, short-term Bitcoin holders (STHs) — those who bought BTC within the last six months — have their average cost basis just under $100,000. Historically, this range serves as support during bull market corrections.
This week’s dip to $98,000 highlighted this dynamic again. According to Glassnode’s latest newsletter, “The Week Onchain,” the critical support zone lies between $93,000 and $98,000. Holding above this range keeps the bull market structure intact, while a break below could lead to further downside if panic selling sets in.
Will the $93K–$107K Range Define Bitcoin’s Next Move?
With long-term holders accumulating at a record pace and short-term holders defending the $100K mark, Bitcoin’s immediate future may rest on this tight price band. A sustained hold above $93,000 could fuel further momentum, especially if history repeats and accumulation precedes another Bitcoin price breakout.
