Long-term investors increase their BTC accumulation

Bitcoin accumulation reaches new highs: A golden opportunity or an imminent danger?

The crossroads of strategies in the Bitcoin market began to outline an unpredictable panorama. With the accumulation of 6.4 million BTC by long-term investors, the so-called "Cruisers", the cryptocurrency seems to be at a decisive crossroads. Meanwhile, holders and traders liquidate positions, generating tensions that could significantly impact the price of the asset.

Solid accumulation by long-term investors

"Cruisers", or long-term investors, show a notable increase in their Bitcoin balance, which increased 41.88% in the last year, going from 4.49 million to 6.4 million BTC. This increase in accumulation is indicative of growing confidence in the long-term value of Bitcoin, according to INTOTHEBLOCK data. This suggests that many believe that the cryptocurrency's price will continue to appreciate. This accumulation trend could act as a support in the market, limiting the supply of BTC available.

Holders and Traders Rush to Liquidate

In stark contrast, holders, or mid-term investors, reduced their balance by 11.07%, falling from 13.63 million to 12.11 million BTC. This decrease indicates that many are taking profits or redistributing their investments in other assets, perhaps due to the current economic uncertainty.

In parallel, traders register an even steeper decline, reducing their balance by 13.35% with a current total of 1.33 million BTC. Since the beginning of 2025, this figure fell by 50.25%, highlighting their strategy of avoiding recent market volatility.

The role of miners in the market

Bitcoin miners suffer a slight drop in their balance, with 3.15% less, going from 1.98 million to 1.92 million BTC. Although this reduction is small, any significant increase in the sale by miners could put pressure on the price, a phenomenon that must be closely monitored.

Factors influencing the market

The recent arrival of Donald Trump to the presidency raised expectations about the regulation of cryptocurrencies in the US, at a time when the Treasury and SEC staff are considering a proposal for a national Bitcoin reserve. This, added to the ETFs that opened new investment doors, provided robustness to the interest in Bitcoin.

However, the fear in the market comes from the Federal Reserve, which decided to freeze interest rate cuts amid economic inflation data that still shows strength. This benefits the dollar, but hurts Bitcoin by limiting expectations of further cuts now expected in July, a situation that could further complicate BTC's path.

The Bitcoin market outlook is equally full of opportunities and risks. Strong accumulation by Cruisers could offer support to the price, while liquidation action by Holders and Traders introduces tensions that could result in increased volatility.
