Bitcoin BTC/USD holders are hunkering down, with more than half of the supply remaining dormant over the past two years, according to on-chain analytics provider Glassnode.
What Happened: In fact, the percentage of supply that was last active more than two years ago has reached an all-time high of 53%, suggesting that many long-term investors are now reluctant to sell their Bitcoin.
Pomp Investments’ Anthony Pompliano tweeted that approximately 29% of all Bitcoin in circulation has not budged in the last five years. He said that this amounts to over $150 billion in market cap, which has remained unmoved for half a decade or more.
