The largest spending in this cycle occurred in October 2024, reaching $9.25 billion. Most of the sales came from investors holding BTC between one and two years. The second and third largest spending waves were in March 2024 ($6.11 billion) and February 2025 ($5.42 billion). During this period, the most active group was investors holding BTC for two to three years. The fourth largest spending was in November 2024, with $4.39 billion spent by investors holding BTC for three to five years. 

Especially, Bitcoin holders with three to five years of holding dominated this period. Their activity alone was measured at $2.16 billion, the second largest sale in the cycle. The largest sale was $6 billion in March 2024. Meanwhile, those holding BTC for two to three years spent $1.41 billion, and holders between one and two years spent $450 million. Previous major movements occurred in October, November 2024, and February 2025, where similar selling waves followed price increases. 

Old wallet holders are either taking profits or repositioning. CoinMarketCap data shows the price dropped over 4% from $111,970. At the time of writing, BTC was around $107,540, down about 3% weekly and 1.2% daily. If the aim is to change strategy, BTC may consolidate further. However, if it’s profit-taking, the price could fall below $106,000.
