On-chain data shows a majority of the Bitcoin supply hasn’t moved in more than two years, despite the fact that BTC has seen a significant uplift during this period. Bitcoin Inactive Supply Trend Suggests HODLing Behavior Remains Strong


In a newpost on X, Glassnode co-founder Rafael has discussed about the trend in the various bands of the Bitcoin Active Supply. The “Active Supply” includes that part of the BTC circulating supply that has been involved in at least one transaction over a given timeframe.

From the graph, it’s visible that the age bands on the younger side like 1 month to 3 months and 3 months to 6 months have been observing growth recently, which suggests the relatively recent supply has been churning as a result of the price surge. The older bands, however, have been more or less showing a sideways movement on this indicator.


The chart displays all the Active Supply bands up to the 1 year to 2 years group stacked on top of each other, to showcase what percentage of the total supply that they make up for.


It would appear that these Active Supply bands add up to 46%, meaning that less than half of the cryptocurrency’s supply in circulation has witnessed some movement within the past couple of years.


The 2-year cut off currently sits in November 2022, when the last Bitcoin bear market reached a bottom. Given the trend in the Active Supply, it seems that the investors who bought during and prior to the bottom have largely decided to HODL.


Interestingly, this is despite the fact that the asset’s value has seen an uplift of more than 500% since then. “HODLing isn’t just a meme,” notes the Glassnode co-founder.


Statistically, the longer investors hold onto their coins, the less likely they become to participate in selling, so considering that 54% of the supply hasn’t seen movement for over two years now, it’s possible a lot of these holders would only continue to sit tight in the near future.

In total, users of the platform have transferred out a net 31,000 BTC to their self-custodial wallets with these transactions. The investors may have made these moves for accumulation purposes, which can naturally be a bullish sign for the asset’s price. BTC Price
