Bitcoin Speculators’ Buy-In Tops $100K as $3.5B in Profits Taken

Bitcoin Short-Term Holder Cost Basis Surpasses $100,000 as Profit-Taking Hits $3.5 Billion in 24 Hours

  • The average buy-in price for Bitcoin’s short-term investors has surpassed $100,000 for the first time.
  • Approximately $3.5 billion in profits were realized by investors within a 24-hour period.
  • A long-inactive Bitcoin wallet transferred 40,000 BTC to Galaxy Digital.
  • Nearly 99% of all Bitcoin supply is currently in profit, according to analysts.
  • Both new and long-term Bitcoin holders are actively taking profits as prices remain high.

Short-term investors in Bitcoin are now holding coins purchased at an average price above $100,000, according to recent data from Glassnode published on July 15, 2025. This milestone marks a new high for speculative buyers who entered the market within the last six months.

Glassnode reported that profit-taking among both short-term and long-term Bitcoin holders reached roughly $3.5 billion in just 24 hours leading up to July 15. The analytics firm attributed most of this activity to long-term holders—investors who typically weather more market cycles before selling.

Glassnode noted, “One of the largest $BTC profit realization days this year – driven mostly by long-term holders,” in a public statement on X (formerly Twitter). The firm also highlighted that nearly 99% of existing Bitcoin supply is now in profit, indicating a period of elevated optimism and potential risk for a correction.

In a major on-chain move, the owner of a Bitcoin address inactive for 14 years transferred 40,000 BTC, valued at about $4.7 billion, to Galaxy Digital. Data from Arkham shows that Galaxy Digital then deposited 6,000 BTC (about $706 million) to major exchanges including Binance and Bybit.

Glassnode’s recent Market Pulse report stated, “Capital rotation metrics point to a slight increase in short-term holder activity, yet the dominance of long-term holders remains intact, supporting market stability.” The analytics platform also emphasized the importance of the $100,000 cost basis for short-term holders, as it could become a significant support level if Bitcoin prices fall.

The article stressed that readers should do their own research before making investment decisions, as all trading involves risk. For further cost basis and realized profit data, additional details are available from Glassnode’s on-chain analytics.
