Major Investors Drive Bitcoin Growth

🟠Following the U.S. elections, major investors increased their Bitcoin holdings from 16.2 million to 16.4 million BTC, reducing selling pressure and supporting price growth. Conversely, smaller participants trimmed their holdings from 1.75 million to 1.69 million BTC. In December 2024, holders secured $10 billion in profits as BTC surged to $100,000. However, by January 2025, daily realized profits had dropped to $2–3 billion.

🟠Despite these gains, demand for Bitcoin has slowed: from a peak of 279,000 BTC in December, it declined to 75,000 BTC in January. This could pose challenges to further growth.

🟠Whale activity remains closely tied to price movements, underscoring the pivotal role of major investors in shaping market momentum.
