How Do Whales Accumulate Bitcoin Without Fear?

How do we know if an address is an accumulation address?

It’s simple: No bitcoin has ever left these addresses. In other words, these addresses write the book of long-term investment. They hold at least 10 bitcoins, so their hands are not shaking. They do not belong to stock exchanges, they are entirely in the hands of individual or institutional investors. They have transferred at least twice and been activated at least once in the last 7 years. These addresses are actually the real life version of the word “hodl”.

At this point, I want to ask: “Do you really understand the bitcoin you hold in your hands? Or do these people at the accumulation addresses know something?

Let’s go back to the first days of 2024. Spot ETFs have been officially adopted.

At that moment, bitcoin adoption took another dimension. Regulations came and the atmosphere of trust was strengthened. Bitcoin is no longer just an investment tool, it has started to appear on television screens, in mainstream media, and in people’s daily conversations (especially in the USA).

Bitcoin is limited in number. We all know this. But the real question is: If the world is just learning this truth, why wait at this point?

Accumulation addresses also answer this question: There is no need to wait! Those who learn collect it with great appetite.

Another thing that marked 2024 was this tremendous increase in the accumulation of bitcoin in accumulation addresses.

Let’s go back and take a look at the past; in 2018, there were only 100 thousand bitcoins in these addresses. When the 2021 bull rally came, this number jumped to 700 thousand. However, the real growth occurred in 2024. On January 1, there were 1.5 million bitcoins in these addresses, but now in 10 months this figure has reached 2.9 million.

The questions in my mind are: “What do they know? Why are these people, the owners of these addresses, so confident about the future of bitcoin?”

I believe that the amount of bitcoin in these addresses will exceed 3 million before the end of the year.

If we assume that each bitcoin is worth $70 thousand (I think it will be even higher by the end of the year), the total value of bitcoins held in these addresses will exceed $210 billion. With this size, they will dwarf even giants such as General Electric, which is the 61st company with the world’s highest market value.

That’s why you should remind yourself every day: Bitcoin is inevitable! Accumulation addresses know this, what about you?
