Bitcoin Diamond Hands: Long-Term Holder Supply Surges Up To Near ATH

Data shows the Bitcoin long-term holder supply has surged up recently to near all-time high values as these “diamond hands” add to their holdings.

Bitcoin Long-Term Holder Supply Jumps Up By 250k BTC After The Recent Low

According to the latest weekly report from Glassnode, the current total balances of the long-term holders is only 30k away from the ATH.

The “long-term holders” (or LTHs in short) is a Bitcoin holder group that includes all those investors who have been holding onto their coins since at least 155 days ago, without having sold or moved them.

Generally, the longer holders keep their BTC still, the less likely they become to sell them. Because of this, LTHs are the less likely investor group to sell at any point.

The opposite cohort is the “short-term holders” (STHs), who have had their coins in their wallets for less than the 155-day mark.

Now, the “LTH supply” is a measure of the total number of coins currently sitting in the wallets of the investors belonging to this group.

When the STH supply matures enough and reaches the threshold, these coins are then naturally included in the LTH supply.

Here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin LTH supply over the past couple of years:
