Clear-Cutting Bitcoin: Inside BSTR’s Bulldozer Strategy to Accumulate BTC and Tap Dormant Reserves

Bitcoin remains in a tight consolidation range after setting a new all-time 
high above $123,000 just 10 days ago. The current range, between $117,000 and 
$120,000, reflects a pause in momentum as the market digests recent gains and 
prepares for its next major move. While volatility has cooled, underlying 
metrics suggest that the broader trend may still have room to run. Related

indicator drawing attention is the percentage of supply active in the past 180 
days (% Supply Active). This metric has historically surged during major macro 
turning points. In spring 2024, as BTC approached $70,000, % Supply Active 
climbed to 20%. It rose again to 18% in December 2024, when Bitcoin first 
broke through the psychological $100,000 barrier. These spikes reflected long- 
dormant coins moving out of storage—often interpreted as early signals of 
broader distribution phases beginning. Currently, the market is showing only 
initial signs of renewed supply activity, suggesting that we may still be in 
the early stages of this cycle’s distribution phase. As long-term holders 
remain relatively inactive and Bitcoin trades near record levels, the stage 
may be set for further upside if accumulation resumes and new capital enters 
the market. Supply Activity Signals Early Stage Of Bitcoin Macro Expansion Top 
analyst Axel Adler recently shared key insights pointing to a potential early 
phase in Bitcoin’s ongoing macro cycle. According to Adler, supply activity 
began rising in June 2025 as BTC crossed the $100,000 mark. Over the past 30 
days, this metric has climbed from negative territory to +2.4%, signaling the 
beginning of a shift in holder behavior. While the increase confirms early 
signs of distribution, it remains modest compared to previous cycle peaks. 
Historically, major bull markets see this 30-day % Supply Active rise 
dramatically. Adler highlights that the current pace lags behind prior 
peaks—like those seen when BTC reached $70,000 in spring 2024 or when it 
breached $100,000 in December 2024—suggesting that the market still has a 
considerable buffer before entering a heightened distribution phase. This 
delayed spike in activity implies that most long-term holders remain committed 
and are not yet ready to offload their coins. As Bitcoin consolidates near the 
$120,000 level, this growing yet restrained activity indicates a healthy cycle 
structure. Adler predicts that if BTC continues to climb and hold above 
$120,000, the 30-day % Supply Active will likely move into the 8–10% range. 
Ultimately, it could revisit the 18–20% zone seen at past distribution tops.

Volume BTC Holds Strong Above $115K Amid Consolidation The 12-hour Bitcoin 
chart reveals a clear consolidation phase following the recent all-time high. 
BTC is currently trading around $118,267, trapped in a tight range between the 
$122,077 resistance and the $115,724 support. Despite a minor rejection from 
the $120K area, the structure remains bullish as long as price holds above the 
50 and 100-period SMAs, which are now aligned between $113K and 
$110K—signaling solid mid-term support. Volume shows decreasing momentum 
during this consolidation, typical of a healthy pause after a strong breakout. 
BTC previously surged above $120K on strong volume, but has since failed to 
establish a new high, instead forming a sideways pattern. This suggests market 
indecision or accumulation before the next leg. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whale

Slowing A break above $122,000 could trigger the next push toward the $130K 
level, while a breakdown below $115,724 would open room for a deeper retrace, 
potentially toward the $113,000 area near the 50-SMA. As long as buyers defend 
the lower range, the trend remains intact, and a breakout seems 
likely—especially if macro indicators or on-chain signals support further 
upside. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView
