๐Ÿšจ Bitcoin Illiquid Supply Hits Record High โ€“ 14.3M BTC Locked Away ๐Ÿšจ


Fresh CoinDesk data shows 14.3 million BTC are now held by long-term holders and effectively out of circulation โ€” thatโ€™s over 70% of supply gone from the market. The HODL mantra has officially overtaken short-term speculation. ๐Ÿ”’


๐Ÿ“– What It Means




  • Long-term conviction: Investors see Bitcoin as a store of value amid global uncertainty.




  • Real scarcity: With 21M BTC total, locking up 14.3M creates intense supply squeeze potential.




  • Institutional adoption: Companies & funds are stacking BTC as a strategic reserve asset.




โšก A researcher warns: โ€œWhen a strong wave of demand arrives, explosive price movements could follow.โ€


If this trend continues, tradable supply could dip below 4M BTC โ€” setting the stage for higher volatility and sharper price moves when demand spikes (think: ETFs, corporate treasuries, governments).


๐Ÿง  My Take: Bitcoin is maturing into a global strategic asset. But with so much accumulation, the market could swing harder โ€” less liquidity means bigger pumpsโ€ฆ and sharper pullbacks.


๐Ÿ’ฌ Do you think this record illiquid supply is the prelude to the next bull run?
