On-chain data shows the key Bitcoin investors have been distributing recently, 
with their supply share dropping to the lowest level in months. Large Holder 
Demand For Bitcoin Has Remained Weak Recently In a new post on X, on-chain 
analytics firm Santiment has talked about how the Bitcoin investor behavior 
has compared between the top and low ends of the market. Related Reading: XRP 
Social Sentiment Hits 5-Week High—BTC, ETH Mood Still Off The analytics firm 
has chosen these wallet ranges to represent the two sides: 0 to 0.01 BTC and 
10 to 10,000 BTC. The former includes the smallest of retail investors, while 
the latter includes key investor cohorts like the sharks and whales. Below is 
the chart shared by Santiment that shows the trend in the percentage of the 
total circulating Bitcoin supply held by each cohort. As is visible in the 
graph, the 0 to 0.01 BTC cohort has been expanding its supply since the 
October price peak. Bitcoin has witnessed a deep drawdown inside this window, 
but the data would imply that it hasn&#8217;t held back retail traders from 
accumulating. In total, this accumulation has expanded the holdings of these 
small hands by 2.5%, taking their percentage supply share to the highest level 
since June 2024. While retail has been buying, the sharks and whales have 
shown a different trajectory. From the chart, it&#8217;s apparent that the 10 to 
10,000 BTC holders sold alongside the market drawdown between October and 
December. In January, these investors participated in some buying, which 
interestingly coincided with a drop in retail holdings. Then, the drawdown 
toward the end of the month again kicked off a selloff from the key investors. 
This selloff was steep, in fact sharper than any part of Q4 2025&#8217;s 
distribution phase. Recently, even as Bitcoin has made some recovery from its 
$60,000 low and found some stability, the big-money investors haven&#8217;t shown 
any return of bullish conviction. Compared to the October peak, the supply of 
the 10 to 10,000 BTC holders is now down 0.8%, which has taken the network 
share of this group to the lowest since May 2025. Related Reading: Bitcoin 
Consolidating In A Triangle—Is A 15% Move Next? The analytics firm explained: 
Optimally, we begin to see these two Bitcoin groups begin to reverse course. 
Without key stakeholder support, any spark of a rally will tend to be slightly 
limited due to the lack of large capital. In another X post, Santiment has 
also discussed the behavior of the mid-tier Bitcoin holders, occupying the 
space between retail and large investors. As displayed in the chart, the 0.01 
to 1 BTC wallets have seen their combined Bitcoin supply hit a 15-month high 
following a 1.05% increase since October. Meanwhile, the 1 to 10 BTC hands 
have reduced their holdings by 0.49% in the same period. BTC Price At the time 
of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $67,400, up 0.7% over the last week.
