New whales are stacking Sats fast – Will this trigger Bitcoin’s next leg up?

• Wallets with over 1,000 BTC and coin age under six months have sharply increased, signaling fresh accumulation.
• The sub-six-month age of these coins suggests tactical, not long-term, positioning by large entities.

A new class of Bitcoin [BTC] whales has entered the scene.

CryptoQuant revealed a surge in wallets holding over 1,000 BTC, each with an average coin age of under six months.

The aggressive accumulation suggests these well-capitalized entities are not just testing the waters.

These whales appear to be establishing substantial positions, possibly in anticipation of the next big macroeconomic shift or crypto-specific catalyst.

Assessing Bitcoin’s whale surge

Interestingly, Exchange Inflows have also ticked higher. This is typically a sign of either repositioning or profit-taking.

However, in this case, it aligns with fresh whale addresses beginning to allocate capital.

In fact, whales seem to be absorbing the market’s fresh supply. That may explain why inflows haven’t yet translated into price drops—supply is getting quietly scooped up before broader demand can react.

Market sentiment turns cautiously bullish

Historically, such bursts of whale accumulation have often preceded strong upward price movement. While not a guarantee, the setup leans bullish—albeit cautiously.

For now, all eyes turn to macro. If the whales are right, Bitcoin may be on the verge of another leg higher. If not, the demand absorption may still soften any near-term downside risk.

Either way, the quiet accumulation may soon meet a loud reaction.
