Bitcoin Wallets Analysis
Bitcoin’s on-chain activity presents a mixed picture over the last two days, with some interesting shifts among larger holders. Total addresses continue their steady climb, ticking up 0.02% to over 1.53 billion, mirroring a similar 0.02% rise in zero-balance addresses. This suggests ongoing network expansion, but it doesn’t necessarily signal new capital flowing in.
We’re seeing a clear divergence in accumulation patterns. Wallets holding over 100 BTC have shown consistent growth, climbing 0.03% today after a significant 0.24% jump yesterday. This cohort now stands at 17,994 addresses, indicating some serious buying momentum from larger players. However, this isn’t uniform across all large holders. Addresses with over 1,000 BTC dipped 0.10% today, extending yesterday’s 0.77% decline. This suggests the very largest whales might be taking some profits or rebalancing.
Meanwhile, the mid-range addresses, those holding between 0.0001 and 1 BTC, generally saw slight declines. For example, addresses with over 0.0001 BTC dropped 0.17%, and those with over 1 BTC fell 0.02%. This indicates a slight distribution or lack of fresh accumulation from smaller to medium-sized participants. The overall picture points to a redistribution among larger entities rather than broad-based retail accumulation.

Conclusions About the Bitcoin Network
The recent on-chain data reveals a nuanced market. While total addresses continue to expand, indicating network health, the real action lies in the varying movements of different wallet sizes. We’re observing quiet accumulation in the 100+ BTC cohort, which grew consistently over the past two days. This suggests larger entities are adding to their positions. Conversely, the very largest wallets (1,000+ BTC) show a slight distribution, which could be profit-taking. The broader base of smaller and mid-tier wallets saw minor declines, suggesting they’re not actively accumulating. This dynamic points to a market driven by larger players, with a clear distinction between the accumulation patterns of different whale tiers.
