Industry insiders indicate that large traders have hoarded a significant amount of Bitcoin, estimated to account for 23% of the total circulating supply of Bitcoin. The implications behind this sell-off could be very significant, representing a bearish outlook from seasoned players regarding the future price of Bitcoin. However, the CEO of CryptoQuant stated that the demand for Bitcoin appears to be stable, insufficient to categorize the market as bearish.

Analysts at Tagus Capital noted that the market's initial disappointment over the U.S. government's strategic Bitcoin reserves affected trading sentiment. Concerns about Bitcoin as a strategic reserve may have been overstated, and the U.S. government may purchase Bitcoin in a manner that does not exceed budgetary constraints, while other countries may accelerate the adoption of Bitcoin as a strategic reserve.
