Long term Bitcoin holders are profitable again after the flagship cryptos recent price increase. However, the same cannot yet be said for most short-term holders, given the levels at which they purchased their Bitcoin holdings.
Only 0.03% of the long-term supply of Bitcoin holders loses
In a recent market reporton-chain analytics platform Glass junction claimed that the total volume of long-term holder (LTH) offering the loss is “negligible,” with only 4,900 BTC (0.03% of LTH) acquired above Bitcoin’s current price. These long-term holders at a loss would have been the ones who bought the 2021 cycle top and have held on ever since.

Long-term holders currently account for more than 85% of Bitcoin’s supply of profits. Glassnode noted that this was to be expected as LTH supply “tends toward zero” during the euphoric phase of the bull market. Therefore, this LTH will continue to represent the majority of the profit supply the bull run progresses.
Tokens held for longer than 155 days are included in this LTH offering, although most investors in this category are likely those who have held with great conviction for the entire period. last bear market, even as Bitcoin fell below $20,000. At the time, this LTH offering was responsible for the majority of unrealized losses.
Short-term holder inventory accounts for the largest unrealized loss
Glassnode revealed that short-term holder (STH) supply is currently responsible for the majority of the market’s losses as these investors continue to buy the flagship crypto near local and global highlights. As such, these holders automatically fall back into a loss when Bitcoin has a price correction.
Data from Glassnode shows that 1 million BTC (26.6%) of the 3.35 million BTC representing the STH offering are currently in losses. An overwhelming 56% (1.9 million BTC) of STH supply would have suffered an unrealized loss when Bitcoin recently experienced a price drop to the $58,000 level.

Glassnode also revealed that a “significant cluster” of STH coins had accumulated close to the current spot price. This is important when you consider how investors who have invested in this region might react volatile price fluctuations, no matter which direction they take. A significant drop or rise in the price of Bitcoin could cause these investors to lose their tokens.
In addition to these short-term holders, Glassnode suggested that ‘Single-Cycle holders’ are another group of investors to keep an eye on. These investors have a “significant amount of unrealized profit” on their hands since Bitcoin broke above the $40,000 mark. They already took some profits when Bitcoin reached its current price all-time high (ATH) from $73,000 in March and will likely lose more of their tokens if Bitcoin hits a new ATH.
