Industry insiders point out 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 may be quite significant, representing a bearish outlook from seasoned players regarding the future price of Bitcoin. However, the CEO of CryptoQuant stated that Bitcoin demand seems to be stable, insufficient to classify the market as a bearish one.

Analysts at Tagus Capital indicated that the market's initial disappointment with the U.S. government's strategic Bitcoin reserves affected trading sentiment. Concerns about Bitcoin as a strategic reserve may have been exaggerated, and the U.S. government may purchase Bitcoin in a manner that does not exceed its budget, while other countries may also accelerate the adoption of Bitcoin as a strategic reserve.
