  1. tldr; New whale wallets holding over 1,000 BTC have accumulated nearly 2 million Bitcoin, marking an 813% increase year-to-date. This surge in holdings, primarily in wallets younger than 155 days, indicates a shift in Bitcoin accumulation patterns. The new whale wallets now account for 9.3% of the total Bitcoin supply, valued at $132 billion. This trend suggests a potential mass institutional inflow into Bitcoin, with significant purchases occurring during a period of sideways trading, contributing to Bitcoin’s recent price breakout.

    “Whale wallets in this case are all holdings above 1,000 BTC held in one address.”

    I imagine many of these are custodial wallets, holding BTC on behalf of many, many individuals. It’s not 100% individuals, or single companies hoarding all of the BTC…yet.
