Long-term Bitcoin holders at multi-year high: Glassnode

The analytics provider reported that long-term BTC holders are reducing their spending, and adding to positions.

Glassnode’s latest weekly on-chain report indicated that long-term holders of Bitcoin (BTC) are at a multi-year high and markets are not yet saturated with profit-taking.

These long-term holders (LTH) appear to be reducing their spending while continuing to add to their positions, according to the Nov. 22 report by analytics provider Glassnode.

The analysis delved into Spent Volume Age Bands (SVAB), which are used to identify the age of coins dominating the on-chain flows on any given day. The metric can be used to identify when the process of profit-taking or accumulation begins, according to Glassnode.

Consistent spending of coins older than one month began in November 2020 and ended between April and May in 2021. The SVAB metric has now fallen back to 2.5% of the daily volume since concurrently spiking with the BTC all-time high in October. Glassnode noted:

“This can reasonably be interpreted as longer term holders reducing their spending, and thus are more likely to be adding to positions, not exiting them.”

Glassnode also indicated that the total supply held by short-term hodlers (STH) is at a multi-year low, at less than 3 million BTC – which in turn means that the amount held by LTHs is at a multi-year high.

The report stated that “seeing STH supply this low whilst price is near ATHs is a relatively unique case.”

Although short-term holders have taken profits at “historic” high points and broken even at low points over the past week, the market is still yet to become “overly saturated with profit-taking.”

The findings indicate that there is little sign of a major capitulation just yet and the bulls may have further to run before this cycle comes to an end.

On Oct 12, Cointelegraph reported that long term holders were sitting on 13.3 million BTC which was worth $754 billion at the time, despite not seeing any outflows for more than five months.

On Nov. 22, Chinese journalist Colin Wu tweeted in response to the report that the number of non-zero addresses has also hit an all-time high. This suggests that adoption and accumulation is still occurring despite the asset’s 18% decline from its mid-October peak price of $69K.

In June 2021, Kim Kardashian promoted EthereumMax (EMAX) via an Instagram story shared with  her more than 200 million followers . The token, which was used as payment for online ticket purchases for some pay-per-view events, gained 116,000% in just one week following the celebrity’s activity before falling more than 99% and leaving many investors in the red.
