Bitcoin Holdings structure changes: retail investors are leaving, Large Investors are quietly accumulating.

2025-12-23 21:20:08

【Coin World】An interesting phenomenon. Since the beginning of March, the total number of wallets holding at least 1 Bitcoin has indeed declined, with a fall of 2.2%—it seems that many retail investors are fleeing. But the story behind this is more than just that.

Meanwhile, those holding more than 1 Bitcoin are operating in the opposite direction. Since the historic high on March 3rd, these whale-level Wallets have accumulated over 136,670 Bitcoins. In other words, retail investors are exiting, while large investors are quietly accumulating.

The differentiation of this position structure usually implies a difference in market participants' perceptions of future trends. Ultimately, who has the right direction will depend on the upcoming price movement.

Retail investors run away, whales accumulate, I've watched this script over ten times Big players quietly build positions at the bottom, while retail investors are still dreaming of bottom-fishing Just wait and see, in the end, those with larger capital will make money Who is right or wrong in this wave depends on what the subsequent K-line tells us Only when bankrupt do you understand what a position structure really means

Retail investors are getting rekt and leaving the market, while the whales are quietly accumulating. This script feels a bit familiar. Are the large investors really that smart, or are they going to play people for suckers again? More than 130,000 Bitcoins, just like that, how much money does that take... Following the whale is definitely the way to go, but the problem is we can't keep up at all. It's the same "structural differentiation" talk again; it feels like every time they say this, the coin just falls. Why does it feel like large investors accumulating guarantees a rise? What if they're wrong too? Are retail investors really going to be washed out this time? It's exhausting.

Retail investors have been played again, this time it's really a celebration for the large investors. It's the same old trick; as soon as I chase the price, the whale starts accumulating. 136670 coins? Why do I feel like I can never buy the dip? Large investors are quietly building a position while retail investors are loudly catching a falling knife; this is the reality. See the right direction? I just want to ask who can see it correctly... The whale is quietly making money again, and I'm still struggling with whether to buy the dip. It turns out that scale determines everything; retail investors really can't compete. After the large investors finish accumulating, we should be rising, right? Looking forward to it. A blatant scene of wealth transfer; no one can outrun it.

Retail investors cut loss while large investors catch a falling knife; I'm too familiar with this rhythm. Let's see who laughs last. Whales accumulate 136,670 coins? Can we not be so sneaky about it, making it feel like espionage, haha. It's another round of large investors building positions while small investors cut loss; how many times has this script repeated... But is this time really different? Small retail investors collapse and flee while large investors take advantage of the chaos; it's an eternal theme in the crypto world, everyone. Saying that holdings are diversifying, isn't it just betting on whose chips are more? Money talks. No one really knows what the next trend will be; everyone is just guessing. I'm off to average down and have a meal. 136,670 coins sounds impressive, but what percentage of the total circulating supply does it account for? Just a numbers game. Is this called building a position? To me, it looks like buying the dip has turned into bloodshed... Who can't run away when retail investors rug pull? The key is whether large investors are really making the right call or also gambling? Another "whales are accumulating" story; can we switch up the narrative next time?
