Glassnode
Since January, high-conviction buyers have been accumulating BTC. The share of Bitcoin supply purchased by this cohort is larger than in the comparable 2022 period, when similar behavior emerged.
Why it matters
The important signal is the cohort's behavior, not a single day's flow or price move. Buyers described as high conviction are taking a larger share of supply in this cycle, pointing to a stronger accumulation footprint than in the previous comparison.
Supply absorbed by committed holders is less immediately available to trade. That gives investors an on-chain measure of demand beneath short-term volatility, while keeping the focus on whether these buyers continue to build positions.
Market impact
The data does not set a BTC price target, but it changes the question facing the market. Investors will be watching whether accumulation persists, whether the cohort keeps its holdings, and whether supply starts moving back toward active markets. Continued buying would reinforce the long-term demand read. A shift toward distribution would weaken it.
