Despite recent Bitcoin price movements being somewhat dull, underlying market currents are surging. According to Glassnode data, over the past month, mid-to-large holders have been rapidly accumulating coins at the fastest pace since the FTX collapse in 2022.
Glassnode tracking shows that in the past 30 days, the group known as “Fish to Shark” — holding between 10 and 1,000 BTC — has bought approximately 110,000 BTC.
This is the strongest monthly accumulation since Bitcoin fell below $15,000 three years ago amid the FTX fallout. Currently, this group, composed of high-net-worth individuals, trading platforms, and institutional investors, holds nearly 6.6 million BTC, up from 6.4 million two months ago.
Meanwhile, small holders are also actively accumulating. The “shrimp” group holding less than 1 BTC has been highly sensitive to price fluctuations. Data shows that this retail group has accumulated over 13,000 BTC in recent weeks, reaching a new high since November 2023, increasing total holdings to around 1.4 million BTC.
The simultaneous accumulation by mid-to-large holders and retail investors indicates a bottom-up structural demand forming in the market. However, whether this signals an early setup for the next phase of market movement remains to be seen.
