  1. Who paid the most for their Bitcoin?

    The 100 to 1,000 BTC group

    Their average buy price is $66,733. The 10 to 100 BTC group paid the least, at $27,572. Where the price sits against each line is the story: any group below it is in profit on average.

  3. What should you keep in mind?

    An address is not a person. One holder can spread coins across many addresses, and an exchange can keep millions of customers' coins in a few. Read every group as a set of addresses, never a headcount.

    The average buy price here is the price each group's coins last changed hands at, averaged across the group. It moves when coins move, not when owners feel differently.

  4. What does this mean for you?

    When the price sits above a group's line, that group is in profit on average and has less reason to panic. When price falls below a line, that group is underwater, and past cycles show underwater groups are slower to buy and quicker to give up.

    Watch the gap between the highest and lowest lines. When every group's line sits far below the price, the whole market has room to take profit. When the lines converge on the price from above, a lot of holders are near breakeven at once.

What did people pay overall?
The whole market's average buy price, next to patient holders and recent buyers.
Which groups are in profit?
Today's price against each group's average buy price, as one ratio per group.
Who owns the coins?
How many addresses sit in each size group and how much Bitcoin they hold.

Understanding Bitcoin Realized Price by Wallet Size

Sort every Bitcoin address by how much it holds, then work out the average price each group's coins last changed hands at. That is this page: seven size groups, one average buy price each, tracked across the full history with today's price drawn beside them.

The technical name for a group's average buy price is its realized price: the price at which each of the group's coins last moved, averaged together. It moves when coins move. If a group's coins mostly sat still through a rally, its line barely shifts; if the group has been buying recently, its line climbs toward the current price.

An address is not a person. One holder can spread coins across many addresses, and an exchange can hold millions of customers' coins in a few, so read each line as the average for a set of addresses, not a person's portfolio. The gap between the lines is the useful part: when the price sits above every line, every size of holder is in profit on average, and when it slips below one, that group is the first one underwater.
