In brief:
₿- Bitcoin accumulator addresses and long-term holders are purchasing record amounts of BTC, showing strong confidence despite short-term price dips.
₿- Institutional investors are significantly increasing their Bitcoin holdings, surpassing total 2024 purchases and signalling a shift to an institution-led, resilient market.
Bitcoin accumulator addresses are showing unprecedented activity, purchasing 214,069 BTC in the past 30 days, bringing their total holdings to 387,305 BTC as of November 5, up from 173,236 BTC on October 6. These addresses, defined by at least two inflows over the past seven years and no outflows, exclude exchanges, miners, and smart contracts.
Long-term holders and new accumulators stack BTC
On-chain data from CryptoQuant reveals that BTC accumulation among these addresses has more than quintupled month-over-month. Average monthly purchases jumped from 41,813 BTC in early September to 214,069 BTC in early November, a 412% increase. In just one day, from November 4 to 5, 30,913 BTC were added as Bitcoin briefly dipped below $100,000, highlighting opportunistic buying trends.
Most accumulator addresses are long-standing, with an average acquisition price around $64,000 per BTC, but new addresses are steadily joining the trend. Inflows throughout 2025 have shown a higher baseline, reflecting consistent, strategic accumulation. Analysts interpret this pattern as growing investor confidence, with dips in BTC prices seen as opportunities to buy rather than triggers to sell.
The trend highlights a key shift in the market: Bitcoin accumulation is increasingly dominated by committed long-term holders, signalling a stabilizing force that may reduce short-term volatility.
Institutional investors intensify Bitcoin accumulation
Institutional investors continue to expand their Bitcoin holdings aggressively. By October 8, 2025, Bitcoin ETPs and public companies had acquired 944,330 BTC, surpassing all BTC purchases in 2024. Approximately 338 entities, including 265 public and private companies, collectively held over 3.8 million BTC as of September 30.
A Tiger Research report shows that institutional accumulation persists despite market volatility. The 14% price correction on October 11 marked a shift from retail-driven to institution-led markets. Institutions view such pullbacks as healthy consolidation periods, strategically buying to lower their average entry prices.
Companies like Strategy (MSTR) actively add BTC during corrections. In one week alone, they acquired 388 BTC, demonstrating faith in Bitcoin’s long-term potential and reinforcing the trend of institutional accumulation as a stabilizing market force.
Outlook for BTC accumulation
The combined momentum of accumulator addresses and institutional buyers points to robust demand and bullish sentiment in Bitcoin. Short-term market dips create strategic buying opportunities for long-term holders, suggesting that the Bitcoin market is entering a more institution-led, resilient phase that could pave the way for sustained growth.
