Analyst: Strong Hands Continue Accumulating During Bitcoin’s Correction, Large Holders’ Holdings Hit New All-Time High

Odaily reports that CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated on platform X that during this correction, large investors holding more than 1 Bitcoin are taking advantage of the price decline to increase their positions. Their total BTC holdings have reached a new all-time high, exceeding 16.8 million coins, indicating that long-term allocation demand continues to strengthen and further reflecting the institutionalization trend of Bitcoin as an asset.

Data shows that the holdings of this type of investor have continued to rise, suggesting that market participants are more inclined towards asset allocation from a long-term perspective rather than short-term trading.

At the retail level, analysis indicates signs of re-accumulation are emerging, but the overall sentiment remains cautious. Current retail holdings are approximately 1.7 million BTC, still below the all-time high recorded in December 2023. Some retail investors chose to take profits during the previous price rally, while others may have adjusted their exposure through more convenient channels such as ETFs.

The analysis suggests that although the behavioral pace differs among various investor groups, the market as a whole is gradually forming a consensus that the current phase is more suited for a long-term allocation window. The trend of funds re-entering the accumulation phase is strengthening.
