According to on-chain analytics firm Glassnode<\/a>, more than 14 million Bitcoin have sat idle in wallets with little to no spending history. That leaves only about 7 million BTC out of the total 21 million supply ready for trading. This shift points to a growing number of holders who prefer long-term storage over quick trades.<\/p>\n

Steep Rise In Illiquid Bitcoin<\/h2>\n

Based on reports, the illiquid supply of Bitcoin<\/a> climbed from just under 14 million in December 2024\u2014when Bitcoin first broke the $100K mark\u2014to roughly 14.30 million today. Demand for cold storage and self-custody solutions has never been higher.<\/p>\n

Investors are moving coins off exchanges and into private wallets. That trend has been especially sharp since late March, even though price swings have stayed volatile.<\/p>\n

\n

Bitcoin\u2019s illiquid supply just crossed 14 million $BTC<\/a><\/p>\n

More and more holders are pulling coins off exchanges choosing cold storage over quick trades.<\/p>\n

The message is clear: conviction is growing, and they\u2019re here for the long haul. #Bitcoin<\/a> #BTC<\/a> #CryptoHODL<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/bQozg31mBK<\/a><\/p>\n

Corporate Buyers Ramp Up Holdings<\/h2>\n

In just the past week, more than five companies announced new Bitcoin purchases. ProCap BTC led the way with two buys: 3,724 BTC for $387 million and 1,208 BTC for $128 million, adding up to 4,930 BTC worth $515 million.<\/p>\n

Michael Saylor\u2019s Strategy<\/a> added 245 BTC after spending $1 billion the week before. Smarter Web picked up 197 BTC, while M\u00e9liuz S.A. acquired 275 BTC, taking its total to 596 BTC.<\/p>\n

The Blockchain Group<\/a> chipped in with 75 BTC, bringing its haul to 1,728 BTC. Most recently, Metaplanet spent around $132 million on 1,234 BTC, lifting its total Bitcoin stash to 12,345 BTC purchased for about $1.20 billion.<\/p>\n


\nSupply Numbers Tighten<\/p>\n

Only one-third of Bitcoin\u2019s fixed supply remains \u201cliquid,\u201d meaning it\u2019s likely to trade hands. That squeeze could make it harder for new buyers to find inventory.<\/p>\n

Over-the-counter desks and exchange order books report thinner BTC listings. When institutions can\u2019t source coins as easily, they may bid prices higher.<\/p>\n

On-chain metrics can\u2019t tell us why coins are unmoved\u2014some may be lost forever\u2014but the uptick in self-custody transfers shows real demand.<\/p>\n

Forecasts Suggest Price Pressure Ahead<\/p>\n

At Bitcoin Conference 2025<\/a>, Eric Trump predicted that he believes BTC will hit $170K at the end of 2026. He pointed out that the number of firms with Bitcoin has doubled in the last year.<\/p>\n

But if a supply crunch is matched with steady or increasing demand, prices might experience a strong push higher. Yet markets may remain unpredictable. Unexpected sell-offs or macro shocks can turn the trend around quicker than anyone can imagine.<\/p>\n

Investors and analysts will be monitoring the pace of new entrants into the market. For the time being, a record 14.35 million Bitcoin are sleeping idle, and that constricted supply may lay the groundwork for the next great rally.<\/p>\n
