Bitcoin saw a massive surge in profits for investors recently. According to crypto analytics firm Glassnode, investors cashed in a whopping $3.5 billion in a single 24-hour period as Bitcoin hit new all-time highs.
Long-Term Holders Lead the Charge
The profit-taking wasn’t evenly distributed. Long-term holders (those holding Bitcoin for at least 155 days) accounted for a significant chunk – $1.96 billion (56%) of the total. Short-term holders grabbed the remaining $1.54 billion (44%). This event is one of the biggest Bitcoin profit-taking periods of 2025, according to Glassnode.
Retail Investors Show Renewed Interest
Interestingly, after a period of selling, smaller investors (those holding less than one Bitcoin) are starting to buy again. This suggests a renewed interest from retail investors. However, the data shows a mixed picture among larger investors, with some accumulating and others still selling.
Bitcoin’s Price and Market Dominance
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading slightly lower than its recent peak, but still sits at a high value. While it reached new all-time highs in US dollars, it hasn’t yet surpassed its previous peaks when measured against gold or the Swiss franc. Glassnode points out that Bitcoin’s performance against gold has been strong since June 2022.
