According to @santimentfeed, Bitcoin whale and shark addresses holding 10 to 10,000 BTC have accumulated 56,227 BTC since December 17, marking crypto’s local bottom. According to @santimentfeed, retail shrimp wallets with less than 0.01 BTC took profits over the past 24 hours, shifting conditions into a green zone where whale accumulation and retail distribution are labeled very bullish. According to @santimentfeed, the bullish divergence between steady whale accumulation and flat prices was bound to produce at least a minor breakout, increasing the probability of continued crypto market cap growth. According to @santimentfeed, the regime framework flags bearish zones when whales dump and retail buys, and bullish to very bullish zones when whales accumulate while retail is unpredictable or selling, which traders can track via green whale lines and red retail lines. According to @santimentfeed, nothing is guaranteed, whales may quickly take profit, and zone durations can span from a couple of days to weeks.

According to Kashif Raza, wallets holding over 1,000 BTC have stopped selling, indicating a shift in behavior among the largest cohorts, source: Kashif Raza on Twitter, Jan 2, 2026. According to Kashif Raza, long-term BTC holders are net buyers again for the first time in months, highlighting renewed accumulation by patient capital, source: Kashif Raza on Twitter, Jan 2, 2026. Based on this update, traders may monitor BTC spot flows and key support/resistance levels to gauge follow-through from the accumulation shift, source: Kashif Raza on Twitter, Jan 2, 2026.

According to @santimentfeed, Bitcoin wallets holding 10-10K BTC have increased balances by just 0.36% since July 1, 2025, while wallets holding under 0.1 BTC are up 3.31% over the same period, indicating retail-led accumulation and flat smart-money exposure (source: Santiment, Dec 30, 2025). Santiment reports that large wallets stayed largely flat through H2 2025, rose into the October all-time high, and then sold, whereas small wallets accumulated aggressively throughout the second half of the year (source: Santiment, Dec 30, 2025). Santiment states that historically the strongest bear-to-bull reversals occur when large wallets accumulate and retail distributes, making a rotation toward whale accumulation a key bullish confirmation to watch into early 2026 (source: Santiment, Dec 30, 2025). Santiment warns that sudden transitions in either cohort are often followed by large price swings, so traders should monitor shifts in the 10-10K BTC and sub-0.1 BTC cohorts for volatility catalysts as 2026 begins (source: Santiment, Dec 30, 2025).

According to the source, long-dormant Bitcoin whale wallets inactive for a decade or more moved billions of dollars in BTC and cashed in as price hit new 2025 highs, the source reports. Based on the source’s report of whale profit-taking into strength, traders should monitor large-wallet transfers to exchanges, sell walls near recent highs, and derivatives funding/basis to manage overhead supply risk, the source indicates.

According to the source, a Dec 27, 2025 social media post claims Bitcoin whales moved billions of BTC in 2025 but provides no transaction hashes, addresses, or market impact metrics, so the claim cannot be independently verified from the post alone and should not be used as a sole trading signal.

According to @santimentfeed, the number of wallets holding at least 1 BTC has fallen by 2.2 percent since the March 3 one-year peak, while wallets holding more than 1 BTC collectively hold 136,670 more BTC over the same period, source: Santiment (@santimentfeed) X post, Dec 23, 2025.

According to @santimentfeed, wallets holding 10–10K BTC (whales and sharks) have net accumulated 47,584 BTC so far in December after cutting holdings by 113,070 BTC from October 12 to November 30 (source: Santiment on X, Dec 5, 2025). Santiment reports BTC has moved into a blue-zone regime where both key stakeholders and retail are accumulating, a setup that historically leads to more up than down and aligns with observed positive momentum in early December (source: Santiment on X, Dec 5, 2025). Santiment notes retail dip-buying is capping upside and states that the most reliable bullish backdrop in their framework is the green-zone condition where whales accumulate while small wallets distribute, citing rallies seen in September and early October (source: Santiment on X, Dec 5, 2025). For traders, Santiment emphasizes monitoring net flows of 10–10K BTC wallets versus small wallets to gauge a potential shift from blue to the more favorable green zone for trend continuation (source: Santiment on X, Dec 5, 2025).

According to @santimentfeed, the number of Bitcoin wallets holding at least 100 BTC has increased by 0.47% (+91 wallets) since November 11. According to @santimentfeed, small addresses, especially those with 0.1 BTC or less, have been shrinking in number, indicating retail capitulation. According to @santimentfeed, retail capitulation has generally played out well for crypto prices in the long run.

According to @ai_9684xtpa, a WBTC whale that fully exited $69.23M between Nov 18–22 at a $87,278 average has restarted accumulation by spending $7.92M to acquire 90.85 WBTC at a $87,242 average about 11 hours ago, with transactions visible via CoW Explorer address 0xC79b6416bD17446f930d32A7B78CF60D35A12bE7, source: @ai_9684xtpa on X and CoW Explorer address 0xC79b6416bD17446f930d32A7B78CF60D35A12bE7.

According to @CoinMarketCap, Glassnode analysts dispute claims that Bitcoin OGs and whales are panic-selling, stating that the data indicates typical late-cycle profit-taking seen in every bull market (source: @CoinMarketCap, Nov 14, 2025). This frames recent BTC distribution as routine profit realization rather than capitulation, a trading-relevant distinction for interpreting whale activity during bull-market pullbacks (source: @CoinMarketCap, Nov 14, 2025).

According to @CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin whales purchased over $4.6 billion in BTC this week, marking the second-largest accumulation of 2025 as of Nov 13, 2025 (source: @CoinMarketCap on X, Nov 13, 2025). BRN's head of research said the evidence points to institutional positioning behind the buying, indicating large-scale demand from bigger players (source: @CoinMarketCap relaying BRN's head of research on X, Nov 13, 2025).
