Why Are 80% of Bitcoin Holders ‘HODL’ing Like Bridget Jones’ Old Granny?! 😂🚀

by

Key takeaways:

  • Apparently, 80% of all Bitcoins are now being clung onto like ex-boyfriends’ hoodies—classic omen for another wild rally. (Chardonnay not included.) 🥂

  • Should our beloved BTC gallop past the $110,000 “Great Wall of Resistance,” fasten seat belts: volatility and wild predictions (not to mention memes with laser eyes) may ensue. Some traders are already misty-eyed about $130,000.

Honestly, Bitcoin rallies harder every time its supply is in the clutches of die-hard holders—up to 84% last round! A suspiciously familiar pattern is brewing again, which basically means supply shock, drama, and probably a lot of hot takes on Twitter. Hold onto your diaries… and crypto wallets.

Bitcoin gained 72% and 84% the last two times

Long-term Bitcoin holders (LTHs) are basically doing the financial version of buying Spanx in bulk—absolutely determined to hold through thick, thin, and terrifying price swings, while still looking fabulous. They hang onto their BTC for at least 155 days—nearly six months of eye-twitching volatility and FOMO.

Crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto (honestly, with a name like that, you have to be bullish 😂) has pointed out that the supply clutched by LTHs just clicked over 80%. According to the oracle of Twitter/X, over 80% of all existence-possible Bitcoins are now being “HODL’d”—which is what happens when you meant to type “hold” but your keyboard was trembling from excitement (or tequila).

In its 15-year storied history, Bitcoin’s supply has only twice been this “Mum’s gone to Ibiza and left us a thousand pounds” level of locked up: Feb 2024 and Oct 2024. What followed? A couple of legendary benders—price surges of 72% and 84% respectively. (Statistically unassailable proof it will now only ever go up, obviously. What could possibly go wrong? 🙃)

When diamond hands take over, every tiny spark of demand sends BTC screaming higher—imagine a sale at Selfridges but for cyber money, according to CrediBULL. He dramatically declares:

“Now that ‘excess’ supply has found its way back in the hands of long term holders and with Bitcoin treasury companies leading the way, the next impulse is imminent. This next one will also likely be even bigger than the last two ($50,000+).” Who’s ready for 150k+ Bitcoin?

In terms of actual coins (not Monopoly money, yet), the LTHs are holding a new record of 14.7 million BTC as of June 5—roughly $1.6 trillion. Anyone else getting “should I have bought more” anxiety? Just me?

⚡️ BULLISH: Long-term Bitcoin holders have reached an all-time high, with supply held for 155+ days signaling strong conviction and reduced sell pressure.

This whole saga—a cocktail of relentless HODLing and institutional whales quietly gobbling up coins—could leave most of the BTC supply as illiquid as supermarket hummus during a vegan festival. Basically, if fresh demand shows up, the price chart will need its own emotional support animal. 🐶

Bitcoin traders position for a rise to $130,000

Meanwhile, BTC traders are piling into $130,000 September call options on Deribit like it’s the last pair of size-8 heels at a Boxing Day sale. These calls, aka lottery tickets with delusions of grandeur, show that many expect volatility to finally get out of bed and do something exciting, should we finally break through $110K.

According to QCP Capital (just imagine them wearing pin-striped PJs and checking Bitcoin prices at 3 a.m.), “Vols remain pinned near historical lows, but a decisive breach of the $110,000 resistance could spark a renewed volatility bid. Some larger players appear to be positioning for just that,” as shared over Telegram, which is basically WhatsApp for people who refuse to participate in group chats.

“They are continuing to add exposure to September $130,000 calls, while steadfastly holding September $115,000/$140,000 call spreads, underscoring a structurally bullish Q3 outlook.”

Drama is brewing on the BTC/USDT three-month liquidation heatmap: major liquidity blockades sit just above $110,000, and there are fierce ask orders loitering up to $130,000—like fans waiting for the next iPhone launch, only with more existential dread.
