While the Crypto market is experiencing a consolidation phase, the major Bitcoin holders, commonly known as “whales”, massively strengthen their positions. It is one of the many bullish signals that emerge at the end of April 2025.
In short
- More than 60 new portfolios holding more than 1,000 BTC have appeared since early March.
- The number of addresses of “whales” reached 2107 in mid-April, a summit over four months.
- These large investors are currently absorbing more than 300 % of the newly issued offer.
- The price of Bitcoin shows signs of recovery, again crossing the $ 87,000 mark.
Strategic accumulation during periods of volatility
Since March 2025, a clear trend has been taking shape on the Bitcoin blockchain. According to Glassnode data, the number of addresses holding more than 1,000 BTC increased from 2,037 at the end of February to 2,107 on April 15, reaching an unrivaled peak for four months.
This increase of more than 60 portfolios represents a strong signal of accumulation by large investors.
This level of activity of the whales recalls that observed during the summits of November and December, euphoric period which had followed the election of Donald Trump to the American presidency.
Although remaining below the historic record of February 2021 (nearly 2,500 addresses), this renewed activity comes at a strategic moment for the market.
It is not only the number of addresses that impresses, but the extent of their accumulation. These large entities are currently absorbing the equivalent of more than 300 % of the newly issued Bitcoin supply, according to on-chain analyzes.
In other words, for each undermined bitcoin, these investors remove three of the traffic, drastically reducing the liquidity available on the market.
A redistribution of forces on the market
In addition to this accumulation of large holders, there is a decrease in the number of small carriers (less than 10 BTC) in recent months. This dynamic suggests a progressive redistribution of assets towards more robust hands and long -term oriented.
The phenomenon is accompanied by another significant signal: massive outlets of bitcoin of exchange platforms. According to Glassnode, the annual net withdrawal rate has reached historically low levels, less than -200 %. This trend clearly indicates a long -term storage strategy rather than active speculation.
“” Whales accumulate massive quantities of bitcoin, they know what will follow “Commented the trader” Mister Crypto “on April 20.
After several weeks of lateral evolution, Bitcoin finally seems to come out of its torpor. The asset jumped more than $ 3,000 in one day to find the threshold of $ 87,400 on April 21, a level he had not reached since March 28.
This break in a downhill graphic model could announce a significant bullish reversal. According to several analysts, this technical movement could propel the price of Bitcoin to six figures by May 2025, if the current dynamics are maintained.
