Bitcoin Long-Term Holder Supply
Are Patient Holders Still Holding?
Bitcoin held for more than a year — the coins least likely to panic-sell.
The percentage of all Bitcoin that hasn't moved in over a year. It dips when bull markets pull old coins back into circulation, and rebuilds through the quiet stretches.

Patient holders are absorbing supply — coins are being taken off the market.The share of Bitcoin untouched for over a year is 61.6% and growing (+0.9 pts this month). Coins are crossing the one-year line faster than old hands are spending.
This is the quiet engine of past recoveries and mid-cycle strength: the longer coins sit, the less supply is available when demand shows up.
It's a slow signal by nature. What matters is the persistence — month after month of growth has historically mattered far more than any single week.
What to watch from here- 61.6% of all Bitcoin is in patient hands, +0.9 pts this month — supply is quietly tightening.
- The deep core barely moves: 33.2% hasn't moved in 5+ years, 17.6% in 10+.
- Watch for the growth stalling while the price is rising — that's historically when patient money starts taking profit.
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.
