Breaking Down Bitcoin Cohorts' Unrealized Profits

Bitcoin Whales and Miners' Profitability

Analyzing on-chain data, CryptoQuant's CEO breaks down the unrealized profits of Bitcoin whale groups and miners. Short-term holder (STH) whales and long-term holder (LTH) whales show varying profit levels, impacted by recent market entries and longtime investments, respectively. Miner-related groups are distinguished by their Bitcoin holdings, showcasing differences in their financial gains.

Profit Trends Among Cohorts

A revealing chart by the CryptoQuant founder illustrates the trend in Unrealized Profit Ratio for four Bitcoin cohorts. This ratio identifies potential gains by assessing acquisition prices against current market cap values. The long-term holder whales emerge as the top earners, while small miners and mining companies also see notable profits. However, STH whales show minimal profits, reflecting the high price of entrance through spot ETFs.

Market Cycle Insights

Despite the uptick in Unrealized Profit Ratio for some groups, CryptoQuant's CEO suggests that the profits are not substantial enough to signal an end to the current market cycle. Bitcoin's recent sideways trading pattern continues to hold as the cryptocurrency hovers around the $64,300 mark.
