Recent days have seen significant growth in Bitcoin accumulation, with increased purchasing volumes from major market players. This article explores current trends and factors contributing to this phenomenon.
Bitcoin Accumulation and Current Metrics
Recent inflows into Bitcoin accumulation addresses have surged over the past few days despite price increases. Over 30,000 BTC were bought and sent to addresses that maintain a conservative approach to moving their coins. In total, accumulation addresses absorbed $3.3 billion or 30,754 BTC. While Bitcoin's price dipped to $104,578, accumulation continues with anticipations of a larger rally in 2025, targeting $120,000.
The Role of Corporate Buyers in Accumulation
The recent surge in Bitcoin purchasing includes both anonymous whales and high-profile corporate buyers. In the past month, 20 companies added Bitcoin to their public balances. Smaller corporate buyers have also been acquiring up to 5,000 BTC in a single day, indicating sustained interest in holding the asset even at near-record prices.
Trends in DeFi and Bitcoin Strategic Reserves
Some of the Bitcoin accumulation may be attributed to DeFi protocols and various types of collateral wallets. Solana now holds 4,726 BTC in the form of tBTC, showing a 75% growth in 2025. Additionally, the idea of a Bitcoin strategic reserve is now being contemplated by many crypto projects, including a proposal from the Polkadot community to establish tBTC reserves.
Bitcoin accumulation highlights continued interest from major investors and corporate buyers. Market trends in accumulation and the utilization of Bitcoin within DeFi indicate a positive long-term outlook despite short-term price fluctuations.
