Retail investors are accumulating more BTC than miners produce
Over 19,000 BTC/month is being bought by small holders
This supply squeeze is pushing Bitcoin toward new all-time highs
Retail Bitcoin demand is creating a noticeable supply crunch. According to recent data, smaller investors—often categorized as Shrimps (less than 1 BTC), Crabs (1–10 BTC), and Fish (10–100 BTC)—are collectively acquiring around 19,300 BTC per month.
In contrast, Bitcoin miners are only producing 13,400 BTC monthly, leading to a growing imbalance. This accumulation by retail players significantly outweighs new supply, quietly fueling upward price momentum.
The Power of the “Little Guys”
While institutional investors and whales often make headlines, it’s the smaller holders who are currently driving Bitcoin’s demand. This consistent accumulation by retail buyers signals growing confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term potential and increasing awareness of its limited supply.
As these smaller investors scoop up more BTC than is being mined, available supply on exchanges continues to drop. This phenomenon often precedes major bull runs, as seen in previous cycles.

A New All-Time High on the Horizon?
With demand outstripping supply, Bitcoin appears poised for another breakout. Historically, such supply squeezes have led to rapid price surges. If this trend continues, Bitcoin could soon reach or surpass its previous all-time highs.
This quiet accumulation by retail investors could be the fuel for the next major leg up in Bitcoin’s journey.
