- Bitcoin (BTC) has seen impressive on-chain metrics including hashrate hitting an ATH.
- The price of the Premier coin has maintained steady growth amid a visible accumulation of whales.
The current rally in the broader digital currency ecosystem could last much longer as key onchain metrics show that Bitcoin (BTC), the industry’s main coin, has more arrows in its quiver. Since surging above the psychologically important $18,000 resistance level, the cryptocurrency has made it groomed a mild range of $18,100 and $18,317.62.
While this growth range shows that volatility in the industry, as typically defined by BTC, is low, it still bodes well for the cryptocurrency over the long term. After According to data from crypto analytics service provider Glassnode, Bitcoin’s growth towards the $18,200 price range has pushed up to 13 percent of all bitcoins in circulation into profitability. In a tweet late yesterday afternoon, Glassnode said:
“When #Bitcoin Rallies to $18.2K, over 13% of circulating supply has returned to profitability. The strong upward movement observed in this metric helps confirm that a large volume of $BTC was acquired between $16.5k and $18.2k,” Glassnode said in a tweet late today.
According to data from CoinMarketCap, there is currently up to 19,260,043 BTC in circulation and 13 percent of that number is more than 2.5 million bitcoin units currently in profit. This sentiment is good, especially for short-term buyers, as the instant accumulation of dividends on their wealth can push them to focus on cryptocurrency.
Major milestones of the Bitcoin (BTC) network
More previous Glassnode data showed that Bitcoin (BTC) hashrate, a measure of how difficult it is to mine the cryptocurrency, hit an all-time high (ATH) of 270 EH/s based on a 14-day rolling -Average.
A common theme for miners over the past year has been the rise in energy costs, an event that has made it relatively harder to reach profitability considering the crypto winter has pushed prices below profitable levels. As cryptanalyst Dylan LeClair shared, miners are now getting back to work as many are running out of new coins to offload.

As previously reported by Crypto-News Flash, Bitcoin miners are logging a lot changing headwind at this point in particular with Core Scientific shut down 37,000+ rigs owned by bankrupt crypto lender Celsius Network. Although this event is expected to reduce the Bitcoin hashrate, we can argue that it increased it as more liquid miners easily plugged their machines back into the system to make up the deficit.
No spam, no bullshit, just insights. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Many miners have sold their mined bitcoins over the past year, and with no more coins to sell, many have had to overcome current energy challenges to get back to work.
One important observation worth highlighting is that Bitcoin (BTC) whales are particularly accumulating the coin. Events like this signal an end to the all-out sell-off that has rocked the industry for more than 12 months. If the bottom is truly in place, we can expect more price bounces in bitcoin over the course of the quarter, and maintaining this trend could effectively put an end to the crushing crypto winter.
