Executive Briefing

According to reporting by Decrypt Financial Technology, Bitcoin is trading close to the average price paid by U.S. spot ETF holders, a day after the Federal Reserve held rates steady.

Detailed Factual Report

Bitcoin's long-term holders are sitting on losses on about 4 million BTC bought between $85,000 and $118,000, and many may sell if the price climbs back toward that level, according to a note from on-chain analytics firm Glassnode.

Glassnode, which defines long-term holders as those holding coins for more than 155 days, said most of that block was bought in 2025. More than half of all long-term holder coins were bought above the current price, according to the note, published Wednesday ahead of the Federal Reserve's rate decision.

$85K keeps turning $BTC back. Since January, Bitcoin has closed above it on only five days, never more than three in a row. It's a truly tough level to break. More in depth analysis in our latest Week on Chain report https://t.co/xy8lE3ilt3

That block is worth about $326 billion at Bitcoin's current price of around $81,400, up 1.2% over the past 24 hours but about 35% below its all-time high of $126,080.
