A patient holder switching wallets shows up here too, so read this next to the profit and loss numbers above: movement with heavy losses or profits is real selling pressure; movement without them is mostly housekeeping.
How deep does the patience go?

The patient-money share is holding steady — no one is blinking.About 62.2% of all Bitcoin hasn't moved in over a year, and that share has barely changed this month (+0.1 pts).
Steady stretches like this are the market's normal state — patient holders neither racing to lock coins away nor letting them go.
The signal lives in the breaks: a sustained climb means supply quietly tightening; a sustained slide — especially while the price is rising — has historically meant patient money taking profit.
What to watch from here
- 62.2% of all Bitcoin is in patient hands — the share has barely moved this month (+0.1 pts).
- A sustained climb from here means coins maturing past the one-year line faster than old hands spend.
- A sustained slide — especially into strength — has been the historical tell of patient money letting go.
Understanding Bitcoin Long-Term Holder Supply
Every Bitcoin has a last-moved date. Coins that haven't moved in over a year belong to people who have sat through big ups and downs without selling — the steadiest owners on the network.
When their share of all Bitcoin keeps rising, coins are leaving active trading and going into long-term storage. Less available supply, with steady demand, tends to help prices rise.
When their share falls — especially while price is rising — it usually means long-patient owners are cashing in. In past cycles a sharp, sustained drop here showed up close to major tops.
The deepest end of this group — coins untouched for five years or more — barely moves at all. The patience spectrum on the page shows where the weight actually sits.
