Bitcoin Investors Lock in $3.5 Billion in Profits as BTC Hits New All-Time Highs

Bitcoin (BTC) investors saw a massive $3.5 billion in profits within a 24-hour period as the leading cryptocurrency surged to new all-time highs earlier this week, as reported by the crypto analytics firm Glassnode.

Long-term holders were responsible for the majority of profit realization, taking $1.96 billion (~56%) compared to short-term holders who took $1.54 billion (~44%), according to Glassnode.

One of the largest Bitcoin profit realizations of 2025 was marked by this event, as per Glassnode’s analysis.

Glassnode defines long-term holders as entities that have held their Bitcoin for at least 155 days, providing insights into the market behavior.

The analytics firm also observed that wallets holding less than one BTC have started to show signs of accumulation after a month of distribution, indicating increased interest from retail investors in Bitcoin.

“The 1,000–10,000 BTC cohort continues to lead accumulation (~0.9), while >10,000 BTC holders remain in distribution (~0.3). 100-1,000 BTC distribute the most aggressively.”

At the time of writing, BTC is trading at $117,915, showing a slight decrease of nearly 2% in the past 24 hours. The cryptocurrency reached new all-time highs in US dollar terms multiple times recently, with the latest peak hitting $122,838.

Despite these highs, Glassnode pointed out that Bitcoin has yet to surpass its previous all-time highs in terms of gold and the Swiss franc (CHF).

“But versus gold, it’s now at the highest level since early February – after outperforming consistently since June 2022.”
