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

Analysts from Tagus Capital indicated that the 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 budget-conscious manner in the future, while other countries will also accelerate the adoption of Bitcoin as a strategic reserve.
