Bitcoin Holders Underwater As Supply In Loss Spikes, Reaching Historic Extremes
The Bitcoin price has reclaimed $65,000 but remains volatile. A significant portion of the BTC supply is now held at a loss, with 10 million BTC underwater—the fourth-highest level on record. An additional 70,000 BTC purchased in late February are also in loss, potentially pushing the total circulating supply in loss to 50%. Historically, such high levels of capital destruction often indicate a bear market bottom. Long-term holders, whose average profit has dropped to 74%, are being watched closely. If the market falls below their cost basis of around $38,900, it could trigger a final capitulation phase. However, the current cycle's unique factors, including institutional involvement, may alter historical patterns. Analysts caution that market outcomes remain unpredictable.
