Right now
Recent buyers are settling in.
The share of all Bitcoin moved within the past year shrank by 1.46 percentage points since 12 Oct 2026, to 35.39%. Coins are maturing into patient hands rather than being sold.
In recent hands
Recent buyers hold 35.39% of all Bitcoin: every coin that moved within the past year.
Coins held
Recent buyers hold 7.12M BTC, 289,321 BTC fewer than on 12 Oct 2026.
Every coin that moves joins this group, and every coin that then sits still for a year leaves it.
Profit and loss
Losses outweighed profit: on 12 Nov 2026, coins from recent buyers locked in $69.18M of profit and gave up $897.26M in losses.
Recent buyers sit closest to their own buy price, so this balance flips fast when the market turns. The typical recent coin that moved went for 0.9903× what its owner paid.
Coins moved
On 12 Nov 2026, 1,166,190 BTC from recent buyers changed address.
Recent coins move constantly. This is the market’s churn, not one big seller. Moving is not the same as selling: exchanges, wallets and payment shuffles all count. What matters is the trend. When recent coins move less and less, fresh money is settling in.
How fresh the recent money isAbove-usual fresh movement
Fresh coins, Bitcoin that moved in the last month, make up 8.73% of all Bitcoin. That is 1.63 percentage points more than on 12 Oct 2026.
When this number jumps, more Bitcoin is actively changing hands. When it falls, even recent buyers are settling in.
What it means
Recent buyers are settling in. Fresh coins are maturing instead of being sold.
Recent buyers hold 35.39% of all Bitcoin, and that share is shrinking (−1.46 points this month). Coins bought in the past year are crossing into patient hands.
That's the healthiest thing fresh money can do: every coin that settles in is one less coin waiting to be flipped.
Sustained stretches of this have historically built the supply squeeze that sets up the next climb, quietly, while nothing looks like it's happening.
What to watch from here
- Recent buyers hold 35.39% of all Bitcoin (−1.46 points this month). Coins are settling into patient hands.
- The freshest slice (moved within a month) is 8.73%. Watch it for the first sign of churn picking back up.
- Sustained settling has historically preceded supply squeezes, the quiet build-up phase.
Understanding
Bitcoin Short-Term Holder Supply
Where it stands today
Bitcoin Short-Term Holder Supply is 35% held under a year as of .
Who counts as a recent buyer?
Coins that last moved within the past year are mostly in the hands of recent buyers, the most reactive part of the market, quick to add and quick to sell.
What does a fast-growing share mean?
When this share grows fast while price is flat or falling, a lot of jumpy supply is building up that could be sold at the first scare.
What does a shrinking share mean?
When it shrinks, those coins are aging into steadier hands, patient owners absorbing what recent buyers let go. That has usually been a calmer, healthier setup.
What are fresh coins?
The freshest slice, coins moved in just the last month, is broken out on the page as “Fresh coins.” When it spikes, a lot of Bitcoin is actively changing hands right now.
