Glassnode: Bitcoin whales fell underwater at June low while small holders stayed profitable
- —Average cost basis: sharks (100–1,000 BTC) at $67,500, whales (1,000–10,000 BTC) at $62,100
- —Wallets holding under 1 BTC have a $48,000 cost basis; market-wide average is $52,700
- —In 2022 every holder group fell underwater; this time only large wallets did
- —BTC was trading around $85,900 at the time of the analysis
Why it matters: The holder base looks more resilient than in 2022: retail stays in profit while whales have already recovered, reducing the risk of cascading selling.
