A group of new Bitcoin whales have accumulated $63 billion worth of BTC, doubling their holdings from 500,000 BTC to 1.1 million BTC between March 1 and June 4, 2025.
These wallet clusters consist of at least 1,000 BTC each, with coin ages under six months, indicating recent accumulation rather than legacy holdings.
Data from CryptoQuant's 'Supply Held by New Whales' indicator shows that the supply held by this cohort rose from 2.5% to 5.6% of total BTC supply, equivalent to absorbing nearly 10 months of mining output.
Market implications include potential supply squeeze, increased price volatility, and upward movement as a result of the rapid absorption of newly mined BTC by these new whale wallets.
