Bitcoin Large Holders Continue to Buy BTC
Bitcoin holders and large investors continue to add Bitcoin to their positions. According to BitInfoCharts, the third-largest Bitcoin holder is now the owner of almost $5 billion worth of Bitcoin. This wallet now has 126.342 BTC, which is over 0.60% of the total Bitcoin supply (21 million BTC).
The latest purchases of this Bitcoin investor came when Bitcoin fell below $39,000 in recent days. The market is experiencing large volatility due to the conflict in Ukraine (Russian invasion), inflation data from different countries, and due to the volatility experienced by traditional financial markets.
