Bitcoin Is Running Out of Sellers

AI-generated source summary

The analysis focuses on Bitcoin's supply structure and the behavior of different holder cohorts. Long-term holders (LTHs) currently control over 80% of the supply, and their holdings have recently skyrocketed, indicating strong accumulation or retention. Historically, LTHs have never dropped below 50% of the total supply, even during market peaks when they offloaded large amounts. This suggests a resilient base of long-term conviction. The "revived supply" metric, tracking coins that have moved after periods of dormancy, shows significant spikes coinciding with major market cycles. When these spikes occur, it indicates that older, high-conviction holders are becoming active, either taking profits at market tops or selling during bear market capitulations. The recent spike in revived supply, coupled with the aging of shorter-term coins into the long-term holder cohort, suggests a maturation of the market structure. Specifically, the 3-6 month old cohort has fallen to 21% of realized cap, while the 3-month cohort has also decreased, indicating that capital that was recently introduced is maturing into longer-term holdings. This shift in supply structure, with fewer short-term speculative holders and more long-term, less liquid holders, makes the market structurally difficult to dump. It suggests that any price dips may be met with buying pressure from these committed holders, potentially marking a
