A recent Bitfinex Alpha <a href="https://blog.bitfinex.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Bitfinex-Alpha-108.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">report</a> shows a shift in Bitcoin (BTC) ownership, revealing short-term investments surge, driven by the popularity of spot Bitcoin ETFs, while long-term holders remain confident in the market.
Recently, there has been a notable change in <a href="https://bitcoinworld.co.in/bitcoin-btc-price-dives-to-66k-ahead-of-fomc-decision/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin (BTC)</a> ownership in the crypto market, especially among short-term holders.
Short-term Bitcoin investors, meaning those typically holding Bitcoin for less than 155 days, have significantly increased their activity.&nbsp;
Their combined holdings rose from 2.2 million BTC in January to more than 3.4 million BTC by mid-April — that’s nearly a 55% increase.&nbsp;
This rise is mainly linked to the increasing impact of spot Bitcoin ETFs.
<h3 id="span-style-font-weight-400-short-term-vs-long-term-holders-span">Short-term Vs. Long-Term Holders</h3>
According to the report, the increase in short-term holders indicates a strong level of investment in BTC, driven by the launch and growing popularity of spot Bitcoin ETFs.&nbsp;
The concentration of these brief asset holdings near the current market price indicates substantial investment activity at this particular price point.&nbsp;
However, short-term holders also lead to vulnerability and price fluctuations, which can lead to potential risks or price drops.
This short-term holder number steadily rises due to new players entering the market and buying Bitcoin. However, the price stays the same because older coins are being distributed.&nbsp;
The market is still resetting, and the $60,000-70,000 price point will be the new floor for BTC, much like $10,000 became a base in 2020.

The supply held by short-term holders currently stands at approximately 3.3 million BTC, a slight decrease from the mid-April peak.&nbsp;
This decrease is due to the market correction in March that occurred after Bitcoin reached its all-time high.&nbsp;

On the other hand, long-term Bitcoin holders are demonstrating a remarkable show of confidence in the market.&nbsp;
After Bitcoin achieved a new all-time high of $73,666 in March, many long-term holders sold significant amounts of their BTC.&nbsp;
Recent data shows that the trend of selling Bitcoin has stopped, and instead, long-term holders are now starting to accumulate Bitcoin.&nbsp;
The amount of Bitcoin held by investors for over a year has remained almost unchanged, indicating that these investments are being held onto rather than being actively traded.

 STH hit breakeven with the latest <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24BTC&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$BTC</a> dip, marking a potential reaction zone.
 The reaction's intensity is unclear, but long-term holders can hold steady.
 Analyzing Bitcoin and STH together hints at a short-term bottom likely forming this week. <a href="https://t.co/IVgTHcWBOZ" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pic.twitter.com/IVgTHcWBOZ</a>

Furthermore, just about 0.03 % of the supply held by long-term investors comprises coins that were bought at prices higher than the current spot price.&nbsp;
In the initial stages of a bull market, it’s common to see long-term investors holding onto their profitable positions.
Bitcoin whales are also accumulating Bitcoin at a pace reminiscent of the pre-2020 bull run, leading to a new historical high in their Bitcoin balance.
