Bitcoin has experienced higher revived supplies in recent months. Notably, it recorded revived supplies of 110,000 BTC and 95,000 BTC in November 2022, representing sales of $2 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively. Bitcoin also saw a revived supply of 100,000 BTC in June 2022, representing sales of approximately $2.4 billion.

Bitcoin currently has a higher market value than it did in those previous months, meaning that its latest revived supply of 50,000 BTC is worth more than $1 billion. Consequently, the dollar value of this recent activity is close to past revived amounts.
