As the price of Bitcoin (BTC) has surged past $100,000, nearly all of its holders have either made a profit or at least not suffered a loss. According to analytics platform IntoTheBlock, 97% of BTC holders are in the black, with another 2% at breakeven.
This situation has been made possible by a long bullish trend that has seen the price of Bitcoin significantly exceed the levels at which most investors entered the market. The nearly 100% return rate indicates that most holders acquired BTC during bearish trends or in the early stages of market growth, when the asset was trading significantly below its current values - for example, at around $50,000 in early 2024.
Analysis of the cryptocurrency holding period also shows that most investors are aiming for long-term holding: about 75% hold their coins for more than a year, 21% - from one month to a year, and only 4% acquired the asset less than a month ago. This data confirms the dominance of long-term strategies at the current stage of the market cycle.
Interestingly, even after a minor correction from the all-time high above $109,000 recorded earlier this year, most investors continue to hold profitable positions. This indicates a high resilience of the current trend and the power of accumulation.
One of the factors that influenced the recent growth was the positive mood of market participants after Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election. Optimism about future cryptocurrency policies has spurred demand and strengthened Bitcoin's market position.
However, the market remains volatile: on the evening of May 14, BTC corrected by 2.1% in a day, falling to around $103,000, losing about $1,000 from its previous values. Despite this, the overall background remains positive, and most investors continue to demonstrate confidence in further growth.
