According to the latest data, Binance's Bitcoin reserves have recently increased. Binance holds the largest Bitcoin reserves compared to other platforms, thanks to its high liquidity and the largest trading volume in the market. This is also driven by increased activity from whales and institutions on Binance, supported by the platform’s relative trust and security. All these factors, among others, position Binance as the leading holder of Bitcoin reserves.
From late July to early August 2025, reserves reversed upward to approximately 579K BTC, while the price of Bitcoin continued to rise to around $124.500 K. This rapid increase in reserves, following a long period of scarcity, serves as a short-term warning sign of potential profit-taking or market liquidation.
From the 2024 peak to the July 2025 low, reserves declined by roughly 50,000–60,000 BTC (~9–10%), then recently recovered by about 25,000–30,000 BTC (~5–6%). Despite this rebound, reserves remain below the peaks of late 2024, indicating that the structural scarcity has not fully disappeared.
The recent sharp rise in reserves has two main, non-contradictory explanations:
Profit-taking or short-term supply increases – Traders, including whales and market makers, are depositing coins to partially sell or to use as collateral in derivatives.
Liquidity boost – As demand grows, liquidity pools are replenished, or market makers rebalance their portfolios to smooth price spreads.
In practice, if daily or weekly reserve increases persist alongside high positive funding rates and rising open interest, the likelihood of a short-term correction grows. However, if reserves stabilize or decline quickly, this would suggest renewed scarcity and a continuation of the uptrend.
