Bitcoin holders who have held their coins for 3 to 5 years are spending their BTC, raising questions of profit-taking or strategic reallocation.
Data from Glassnode shows a rise in spending by long-term holders, driving the aggregate volume from one-year to five-year cohorts to $4.02 billion.
Older Bitcoin holders have recorded significant spending volumes after recent BTC rallies, with the largest spending spike occurring in October 2024 at $9.25 billion.
The current spending spike is led by the three-year to five-year Bitcoin holder cohort with $2.16 billion, suggesting a potential consolidation or deeper correction for BTC.
