Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor said long-term Bitcoin holders haven’t lost money, as BTC hits a new all-time high.
Bitcoin surged past $111,800 on Thursday, marking a new record as Treasury yields rose following a weak 20-year U.S. bond auction. The price of the leading digital asset rebounded sharply from a brief dip to $106,000 earlier in the week.
It reclaimed its previous peak of $109,200 on Wednesday before setting a new record near $112,000. The broader market responded positively, with crypto sentiment buoyed by the strong price action.
No One Lost Money Buying Bitcoin
This price action notably prompted commentary from Michael Saylor, chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy). In an X post, he reiterated the view that “no one has ever lost money buying Bitcoin.”
This sentiment was echoed by popular crypto influencer Altcoin Daily, which noted that, in Bitcoin’s 16-year history, 100% of holders are currently in profit.
All Bitcoin Wallets in Profit
Indeed, on-chain data from IntoTheBlock confirmed that the entire tracked Bitcoin supply is currently held at a profit. Specifically, the “In The Money” wallets, those holding BTC purchased below the current market price, now account for 100% of all holdings, totaling 19.89 million BTC. The value of these profitable holdings is estimated at approximately $2.21 trillion.
At the same time, no wallets are classified as “Out Of The Money,” meaning there are currently zero tracked BTC holdings at a loss. This reflects that Bitcoin’s market price now exceeds all historical purchase prices among wallets included in the dataset.
However, it’s important to note that this data reflects only unrealized gains and does not account for any realized losses from those who sold at a dip..
