Wallets holding between 100 and 1,000 BTC added about 577,000 Bitcoin over the past year. Market observers say this accumulation signals continued institutional interest in the United States.
CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju said “Institutional demand for Bitcoin remains strong,”. Data shows the 100–1,000 BTC cohort has been growing steadily.
The cohort’s holdings rose roughly 33% over 24 months, a period that coincided with the launch of spot ETFs. Analysts link that timing to fresh institutional flows into Bitcoin products.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States have seen about $1.2 billion of aggregate inflows so far this year. The underlying asset has gained roughly 6% during that span.
Digital asset treasuries (DATs), led by Michael Saylor’s Strategy, bought roughly 260,000 BTC since July, worth about $24 billion at current prices. Glassnode reported DAT holdings rose about 30% in six months and now exceed 1.1 million BTC.
Retail sentiment cooled, with the Fear & Greed Index slipping to 32 out of 100 this week. Prices pulled back from near $97,000 to below $92,000 amid rising trade tensions between the United States and Europe.
