According to Santiment, Bitcoin wallets holding one or fewer BTC have reached their highest coin count ever, a surge in accumulation since November.
Santiment, a market intelligence platform with on-chain and social metrics for more than 2,500 cryptocurrencies, took to X on Dec. 18 to share that Bitcoin wallets holding one or fewer BTC now hold a record-breaking 1.4 million Bitcoin, constituting 7.3% of the total supply.
Simultaneously, wallets with 100+ Bitcoin collectively, also known as whales, now account for 11.5 million Bitcoin in an increase over the past couple of months, representing 59.1% of the supply, while wallets with 1-100 Bitcoin collectively hold 6.5 million BTC, making up 33.6% of the supply, in what is a slight decline in the same period.
Santiment reports that at the same time, during the last non-holiday weekend of 2023, the cryptocurrency market experienced a modest decline.
Bitcoin, tagged at $41,600, witnessed a pullback, while Ethereum (ETH) demonstrated relative resilience by hovering slightly above $2,200.
