Long Term Holders Add 316,000 BTC In 30 Days
On the chain data followed by CryptoQuant shows that the long-term supply of Bitcoin (LTH) has returned to 15.26 million BTC, the last levels were seen in August 2025. However, the most important detail in the CryptoQuant chart is not the long-term. holders are rising but and last month’s rate of increase.
The supply of LTH has grown by about 316,000 BTC in the last 30 days. That it means more money aging into long-term investors, which is a category used to identify investors who have held their Bitcoin for at least six months and are unable to act in the short term.
As seen in the image below, the green bars that represent the 30-day change in LTH supply have grown into a positive area in recent weeks, which is a different change from the red distribution area that dominated at the end of 2025.
At the end of November, the same 30-day metrics showed a negative change of about 650,000 BTC, which means that a lot of the volume left the long-term wallets. The earlier session coincided with a more bearish market as Bitcoin tumbled from its October 2025 all-time high. and began to improve deeply.
Darkfost also sent the change to the first transaction of 800,000 BTC from Coinbase. The point is that May 23 could be an important date for the negotiations on the chain, since the money will pass the six-month limit. When this happens, then investors can see more feedback on how much of the stock is being reshuffled in the hands of long-term holders.
Bitcoin Show Power
Long-term content is also relevant in a different sense and expert Michaël van de Poppe, who said that the market can focus on new innovations. According to the expert, Bitcoin 25% rebound from its recent decline, despite the Middle East worries about war and rising productivity, is a sign of courage. In his argument, losing 21 days moving average is not just about Bitcoin it should only fall into the lower areasespecially since the price is still holding above $76,000.
Van de Poppe also compared Bitcoin against gold, saying that the BTC/gold RSI has fallen to one of its lowest readings. However, the previous low readings in the BTC/gold RSI did not occur at the beginning of the bear market but came at the beginning of Bitcoin’s strong phase.

A new crash would require Bitcoin to break through a 200-week moving average, something that would disrupt many of the most volatile systems outside of risks such as Luna and FTX falling in 2022.

That doesn’t mean Bitcoin can’t test low support. A move to $70,000 can still be done as a support test, but the difference is that they do not see new lows as a possible outcome.
