On-chain data from Glassnode shows that the number of entities holding at least 1,000 BTC is increasing significantly, reflecting a trend of large investors expanding their positions during periods of high market volatility. The chart tracking wallets with balances of 1,000 BTC or more indicates that, despite Bitcoin’s multiple sharp rises and falls over the past year, the number of large wallets has returned to an upward trend after a period of decline.
These entities are typically institutions, long-term funds, or investors with substantial financial resources, not retail investors. Their increased accumulation during weak market conditions suggests a longer-term strategy rather than short-term speculation. Historically, phases where supply shifts from “weak hands” to “strong hands” often lead to reduced circulating liquidity and support a more sustainable price structure.
Although this does not guarantee an immediate reversal, this trend indicates that significant capital is quietly re-entering the market amid generally cautious sentiment.
