On-chain data shows the Bitcoin sharks and whales have seen their population grow during the last three months, despite the price witnessing an overall downtrend in this window.

Bitcoin Sharks & Whales Saw A 3.9% Jump In Address Count Over Last 3 Months

In a new post on X, on-chain analytics firm Santiment has discussed the latest trend in the Supply Distribution of the Bitcoin sharks and whales. The “Supply Distribution” here refers to an indicator that tells us, among other things, the number of wallets that belong to a given coin range. For example, the Supply Distribution of the 1 to 10 coins cohort measures the number of addresses that are holding between 1 and 10 tokens of the asset.

In the context of the current topic, the range of interest is the 100+ BTC one (with the upper bound at infinity). At the current exchange rate, the cutoff for the range converts to $6.9 million. Thus, only the investors with a significant amount of capital would be able to qualify for it. Such holders are collectively known as the sharks and whales.

Traders of this size can carry some degree of influence in the market, so their behavior can often be worth keeping an eye on. It doesn’t always correlate with the asset’s trajectory, but it can still contain information about the sentiment among the key hands.

Now, here is the chart shared by Santiment that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Supply Distribution for the sharks and whales over the last few months:

As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin sharks and whales have seen their Supply Distribution go through a notable rise over the last few months, indicating the number of investors falling inside these groups has gone up.

More specifically, sharks and whales have seen their combined count jump by 753 since December 19th, representing an increase of 3.9% over a three-month period.

From the chart, it’s visible that this surge in the Supply Distribution of the 100+ BTC holders has come while the cryptocurrency’s spot price has gone through a downtrend. This means that instead of pulling back during the market decline, more big-money investors have joined the network. “This is just one of many bullish divergences showing in our on-chain data currently while short-term prices continue their volatility,” noted the analytics firm.

The indicator has also climbed on the yearly scale, being up 2,148 addresses or 12% compared to March 19th, 2025. During this window, BTC went through a bull run, so large investors had a profitable opportunity to exit, but it seems that they chose to stick around instead.

BTC Price

Bitcoin has slipped under the $70,000 level following its latest pullback.

Keshav is currently a senior writer at NewsBTC and has been attached to the website since June 14, 2021.

Keshav has been writing for many years, first as a hobbyist and later as a freelancer. He has experience working in a variety of niches, even fiction at one point, but the cryptocurrency industry has been the longest he has been attached to.

In terms of official educational qualifications, Keshav holds a bachelor’s degree in Physics from one of the premier institutes of India, the University of Delhi (DU). He started the degree with an aim of eventually making a career in Physics, but the onset of COVID led to a shift in plans. The virus meant that the college classes had to be delivered in the online-mode and with it came free time for him to explore other passions.

Initially only seeking to make some beer money, Keshav unexpectedly landed clients offering real projects, after which there was no looking back. Writing was something he had always enjoyed and to be able to do it for a living was like a dream come true.

Keshav completed his Physics degree in 2022 and has been focusing on his writing career since, but that doesn’t mean his passion for Physics has ended. He eventually plans to re-enter university to obtain a masters degree in the same field, but perhaps only to satiate his own interest rather than for using it as a means to find employment..

Keshav has found blockchain and its concepts fascinating ever since he started going down the rabbit-hole back in 2020. On-chain analysis in particular has been something he likes to research more about, which is why his NewsBTC pieces tend to involve it in some form.

Being of the science background, Keshav likes if concepts are clear and consistent, so he generally explains the indicators he talks about in a bit of detail so that the readers can perhaps come out having understood and learnt something new.

As for hobbies, Keshav is super into football, anime, and videogames. He enjoys football not only as a watcher, but also as a player. For games, Keshav generally tends towards enjoying singleplayer adventures, with EA FC (formerly FIFA) being the only online game he is active in. Though, perhaps due to being ultra-focused on the game, he is today a semi-pro on the EA FC scene, regularly participating in tournaments and sometimes even taking back prize money.

Because of his enthusiasm for anime and games, he also self-learned Japanese along the way to consume some of the untranslated gems out there. The skill didn’t merely remain as just a hobby, either, as he put it to productive use during his exploration for small-time gigs at the start of COVID, fulfilling a couple of Japanese-to-English translation jobs.

Keshav is also big into fitness, with agility and acceleration-related workouts making a big part of his program due to the relevance they have in football. On top of that, he also has a more traditional strength based program for the gym, which he does to maintain an overall fitness level of his body.
