Bitcoin Wallets Analysis
On-chain activity presents a mixed picture as total Bitcoin addresses climbed to 1.54 billion on September 5th, a 0.02% increase. However, this growth largely reflects empty wallets, with zero-balance addresses mirroring the same 0.02% rise to 1.48 billion. Active addresses, those holding any amount of Bitcoin, remained largely flat at 541,161, showing minimal new participation with actual funds.
We’re seeing some interesting shifts across different wallet sizes. While addresses holding over 0.000001 BTC saw a modest 0.03% uptick to 4.96 million, and those with over 0.001 BTC grew 0.03% to 12.1 million, the mid-tier isn’t faring as well. Wallets with more than 1 BTC dipped 0.02% to 821,693, and the 10+ BTC cohort also saw a 0.05% decline, settling at 129,490.
The divergence among larger holders stands out. Addresses with over 100 BTC actually climbed 0.19% to 18,155 on September 5th. Yet, the very largest wallets, those holding over 1,000 BTC, saw a notable 0.37% drop, bringing their count to 1,897. This suggests a rebalancing among institutional or whale-tier players rather than a unified accumulation or distribution.

Conclusions About the Bitcoin Network
The latest on-chain data shows a nuanced market. Total address growth is primarily driven by empty wallets, with active addresses holding steady. We’re observing a clear divergence among larger holders: wallets with over 100 BTC are accumulating, increasing by 0.19% on September 5th, while the largest wallets, those with over 1,000 BTC, are shedding positions, down 0.37%. This suggests a shift in conviction or strategy within the whale cohort, with some distributing while others accumulate at a slightly lower tier. Mid-tier wallets (1-10 BTC) also saw minor declines, indicating a cautious stance from that segment.
