On-chain data shows the Bitcoin long-term holders have continued to HODL strong recently, as their supply has reached a new all-time high.

Bitcoin Long-Term Holders Now Control 75% Of The Circulating Supply

According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Glassnode, the BTC long-term holders now carry 14.52 million BTC. The “long-term holders” (LTHs) here refer to investors holding onto their coins since more than 155 days ago.
