Data: Bitcoin illiquid supply exceeds 14.3 million, reaching a record high

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, in late August, the illiquid supply (the amount of bitcoin held by entities with little to no spending history) exceeded 14.3 million BTC, reaching a historic high.

In the past 30 days, the net increase in illiquid supply reached 20,000 BTC. Of the current circulating 19.9 million BTC, about 72% of the total supply is in an illiquid state, held by long-term holders and cold storage investors. This growth highlights a continued accumulation trend, even during recent market volatility.

In mid-August, bitcoin reached a historic high of $124,000, then pulled back by about 15%. Despite the price correction, the illiquid supply continued to rise, indicating that holders did not sell off due to short-term adjustments.
