Bitcoin long-term holders stack 800K BTC per month in record hodl run

Key points:

  • Bitcoin long-term holder supply has increased by a record 800,000 coins over the past 30 days.
  • Data shows that even a 750,000 BTC increase has only occurred six times in Bitcoin’s history.
  • BTC price support hinges on supply with a cost basis above $93,000.

Bitcoin long-term holders are making history as they increase their BTC exposure by 800,000 BTC per month.

New research from onchain analytics platform CryptoQuant shows Bitcoin “hodl” mentality reaching levels rarely seen before.

Bitcoin long-term holders offer “key signal”

Bitcoin long-term holders (LTHs) — entities holding coins for at least six months without selling — have doubled down on their commitment despite BTC price hitting new all-time highs in 2025.

Analyzing the LTH supply change, CryptoQuant reveals that on a rolling 30-day basis, the supply has increased by a net 800,000 BTC — a new record.

“This week brings a key signal from LTH that shouldn't be overlooked,” contributor Darkfost argued in one of its “Quicktake” blog posts on June 26.

Over Bitcoin’s history, 30-day LTH supply increases have only passed the 750,000 BTC mark six times. The two most recent occasions, in July 2021 and September 2024, both preceded a BTC price spike.

“This makes it a powerful signal that should absolutely be factored into any strategy,” Darkfost concluded.

The post added that coins now entering the LTH category have a purchase price between $95,000 and $107,000, reinforcing that range as a potential support zone.

Recent buyers need $93,000 to hold

As Cointelegraph continues to report, the opposite end of the Bitcoin investor spectrum, short-term holders (STHs), also play an important role in bull markets.

Currently, STHs — corresponding to speculators hodling coins for six months or less — have their aggregate cost basis at just below $100,000.

That level often acts as support during bull market corrections, with this week’s retracement to $98,000 being no different.

Analyzing support composition this week, onchain analytics firm Glassnode warned that the area between $98,000 and $93,000 was crucial.

“As long as the price holds above this range, the bull market structure remains intact,” it summarized in the latest edition of its regular newsletter, “The Week Onchain.” 

“However, a breakdown below could trigger a deeper correction, especially if holders with a cost basis in this zone begin to capitulate and add to the sell pressure.”

  • Intel CEO: Semiconductor Potential Market Size Approaching $1 Trillion

    On April 24, local time, after the U.S. stock market closed on April 23, Intel officially released its Q1 fiscal year 2026 financial report and held an earnings call. The company delivered its sixth consecutive quarter of better-than-expected results, with revenue, gross margin, and earnings per share all surpassing guidance. The AI business has become the core growth engine, with a surge in demand for server CPUs and advancements in advanced processes and packaging exceeding expectations. Following this financial report, Intel's stock price surged nearly 20% in after-hours trading. During the earnings call, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger stated that despite continuous improvements in factory capacity, demand across all business segments remains higher than supply, particularly for Xeon server CPUs, which are expected to maintain strong growth momentum over the next two years. Gelsinger also noted, 'In recent years, the focus in high-performance computing has been almost entirely on graphics processors and other accelerators. In recent months, clear signs have shown that central processing units are becoming an indispensable foundation in the era of artificial intelligence.' Looking at the overall market, Gelsinger anticipates that driven by explosive growth in AI demand, the overall potential market size of the semiconductor industry is approaching $1 trillion. However, Intel's management also warned that the company still faces multiple pressures, including declining demand in the PC market, rising costs, expanding capital expenditures, and supply constraints.

  • Trump: U.S. to Soon Capture Nearly 50% of Chip Market

    On April 24, U.S. President Trump declared on the 23rd that the United States will soon capture nearly 50% of the chip market, warning that chip companies that do not manufacture in the U.S. will face very high tariffs in a year and a half to two years. U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo stated that the U.S. previously held only 3% to 4% of the chip market while having the largest demand for chips. Under Trump's directive, the U.S. is requiring semiconductor fabs to return to domestic production, with expectations that fabs worth $1 trillion will come to the U.S. Raimondo emphasized that this is not about tech giants purchasing chips, but rather about chip manufacturing. She mentioned commitments from Micron Technology to invest $200 billion and TSMC to invest $165 billion, along with $500 billion in funds from Taiwan expected to flow into the U.S. Raimondo also indicated during a congressional hearing on the 23rd that investments in the U.S. semiconductor industry during Trump's term are expected to reach $1 trillion.

  • Trump States He Will Not Use Nuclear Weapons Against Iran

    On April 24, according to CCTV International News, during an event at the White House on the afternoon of April 23, U.S. President Trump told the media that he could reach an agreement with Iran right now, but he wants the agreement to be 'permanent,' ensuring that Iran never has the chance to possess nuclear weapons. Therefore, he does not want to rush. Trump stated, 'There is plenty of time,' 'there is absolutely no pressure,' and 'the real pressure is on Iran,' which is unable to restore oil transportation under U.S. maritime blockade. He added that if Iran does not want to reach an agreement, he would 'complete the remaining tasks through military means.' When asked if he would consider using nuclear weapons against Iran, Trump replied, 'No,' and stated that even without launching a nuclear strike, the U.S. has already 'completely destroyed' Iran. When pressed by reporters on why the conflict was not resolved within the initially stated 4 to 6 weeks, Trump repeatedly mentioned that the U.S. fought in the Vietnam War for 18 years, and claimed that the U.S. had actually 'militarily taken down Iran' within 6 weeks; now it is just a matter of 'both sides taking a break.'
