Bitcoin long-term holders are back in profit following the flagship crypto’s recent price surge. Nonetheless, the identical can’t be said for many short-term holders yet, given the degrees at which they purchased their Bitcoin holdings.
Only 0.03% Of Long-term Bitcoin Holder Supply In Loss
In a recent market report, on-chain analytics platform Glassnode claimed that the whole volume of long-term holder (LTH) supply held in loss is “negligible,” with only 4,900 BTC (0.03% of LTH) acquired above Bitcoin’s current price. These long-term holders in loss are said to have been those that bought the 2021 cycle top and have held since then.

Long-term holders currently account for over 85% of the Bitcoin supply in profit. Glassnode noted that this was to be expected, on condition that the LTH supply in loss in the course of the euphoric phase of the bull market “tends towards zero.” Subsequently, this LTH will keep accounting for many of the availability in profit because the bull run progresses.

Tokens held for greater than 155 days fall under this LTH supply, although most investors on this category are likely those that held with high conviction throughout the last bear market, whilst Bitcoin dropped below $20,000. Back then, this LTH supply accounted for a lot of the unrealized losses.
Short-Term Holder Supply Accounts For Most Unrealized Loss
Glassnode revealed that the short-term holder (STH) supply currently accounts for a lot of the market losses as these investors proceed to purchase the flagship crypto near local and global highs. As such, these holders mechanically fall back right into a loss at any time when Bitcoin encounters a price correction.
Data from Glassnode shows that 1 million BTC (26.6%) out of the three.35 million BTC representing the STH supply are currently at a loss. An amazing 56% (1.9 million BTC) of the STH supply is claimed to have moved into an unrealized loss when Bitcoin recently experienced a price drawdown to the $58,000 level.

Glassnode also revealed that a “significant cluster” of STH coins was accrued near the present spot price. This is critical considering how investors who invested on this region could react to any volatile price fluctuations, no matter what direction they take. A major drop or increase in Bitcoin’s price could lead on these investors to dump their tokens.
Besides these short-term holders, Glassnode suggested that the ‘Single-Cycle holders’ are one other group of investors to keep watch over. These investors have been holding a “significant magnitude of unrealized profit” since Bitcoin broke above the $40,000 range. They already took some profits when Bitcoin hit its current all-time high (ATH) of $73,000 in March and can likely offload more of their tokens as Bitcoin reaches a latest ATH.
