Bitcoin Long-Term Holders’ Realized Profit Stays Far Below Prior Peak
The current reading is about 72%, compared with nearly 350% in December 2024, suggesting long-term holders may continue waiting rather than sell on a large scale.
Bitcoin (BTC) long-term holders’ realized profit is about 72%, far below the nearly 350% recorded in December 2024, suggesting they may continue waiting rather than immediately sell on a large scale.
Long-term holders are generally more stable and less sensitive to market volatility than short-term holders. Their activity can help assess potential selling pressure.
The current reading reflects a relatively moderate profit-taking phase. It is closer to the milder profit-taking levels seen during previous bear-market periods than to the sharper gains recorded during earlier market peaks.
That comparison suggests long-term holders have not reached the same level of realized profit associated with large-scale selling in December 2024. Most may therefore continue waiting rather than immediately selling on a large scale.
