Bitcoin Accumulation by Large Holders Amid Retail Panic

According to Odaily, analysis by Santiment reveals that wallets holding more than 10 Bitcoins have accumulated nearly 5,000 Bitcoins since March 3, while retail investor sentiment remains fearful. Key moments highlighted in the data include the start of accumulation by large holders on October 12 last year during the early bull market, a pause during the holiday downturn on December 26, and a resumption of accumulation on January 12, a week before U.S. President Donald Trump's inauguration, when Bitcoin reached an all-time high of $109,000. Selling began on February 19, but accumulation resumed on March 3 amid peak retail pessimism. Santiment notes that while prices have not yet responded to the buying activity of large holders, continued accumulation by these key stakeholders could lead to a better market performance in the latter half of March, following seven weeks of downturn since Bitcoin's record high.
