Data from Glassnode suggests that Bitcoin (BTC) is in an accumulation pattern with its available supply reaching a new historical low. According to the report, Bitcoin’s illiquid supply and long-term holders cohort rise.
As Bitcoin’s supply tightens, available BTC is being purchased by smaller, long-term holding entities.
Bitcoin accumulation among a majority of investor cohorts and the bullish conviction of long-term holders equates to investors gobbling up “92% of the newly mined supply” according to Glassnode analysis.
On the backs of smaller entities gobbling up Bitcoin’s minted supply, long-term holders have reached new highs versus short-term holders, something not seen since July 2023. In addition to the solid long-term holder ratio, short-term holder supply diminished to all-time lows.
The combined effect is creating a tightening of the BTC supply available for purchase, which is possibly helping to keep Bitcoin price above $34,000 and providing strong support above $30,000.
