The increased selling pressure on Bitcoin raised concerns, yet the overall market sentiment remains optimistic.
This is reflected in the Bitcoin accumulation wallets, which currently contain an impressive 1.7 million BTC, valued at $68 billion, as reported by CryptoQuant’s CEO Ki Young Ju.
This trend indicates a robust confidence and increasing trust in the primary cryptocurrency among investors.
The inclination to hold Bitcoin as a store of value or for long-term investment is apparent, bolstered by the significant amounts held in accumulation wallets.

Beyond demonstrating investor confidence, the accumulation pattern in Bitcoin also suggests a decrease in market supply, which could lead to price increases.
Importantly, Bitcoin inflows into accumulation wallets have reached a five-year high, including transfers to custodial services like Coinbase Custody, marking another key milestone in the cryptocurrency’s development.

The recent downward pressure is largely due to increased selling activity by major Bitcoin holders, such as sharks and whales, who are looking to capitalize on their profits by selling their assets in the trading markets.
Nevertheless, the consistent accumulation by other entities is likely to elevate Bitcoin’s value as it approaches the fourth halving event scheduled for April this year.
At the same time, the number of active Bitcoin addresses has exceeded 1 million, indicating a rise in participation and utilization of the cryptocurrency.
