Bitcoin (BTC) speculators have reached a new milestone as the total buy-in price passes $100,000 for the first time.
The latest data from Onchain Analytics Firm GlassNode confirms that as of July 15th, Bitcoin Short-Term Holders (STH) cost base has reached six digits.
Bitcoin’s short-term holder cost basis is $100,000
Bitcoin’s more speculative investor cohort is an average of six figure buyers.
BTC Hodler’s different classes of cost bases, GlassNode has confirmed that it will enter the market with a total of over $100,000 per coin within the last six months.
STH entities are usually thought to be more sensitive to low-frame BTC price actions, increasing the pressure to sell based on sudden trends. A cost base known as realised prices can form reliable support during the Bitcoin Bull Market.
A cost base above $100,000 adds to the importance of that level if BTC/USD begins a deeper recession.
Meanwhile, neither STH nor the more established counterpart, the Long Term Holder (LTHS), has wasted time for the highest profits ever.
GlassNode has confirmed that STH and LTH combined profits are around $3.5 billion in Eastern time from 24 hours to 4am on Tuesday.
“One of the biggest $BTC profit realization days of the year is driven primarily by long-term holders,” he said in X.
BTC Hoddlers removes profits from the table
Before the profitable event, GlassNode warned that the extent of recent profits proves to be too attractive to Hoddlers, regardless of their duration of existence in the market.

“The capital turnover index shows a slight increase in short-term holder activity, but long-term holder control remains intact and supports market stability,” he reported in the latest edition of the regular research series “Market Pulse.”
“On the other hand, the profit/loss indicator suggests that profits will rise, and nearly 99% of the supply of profits will rise, suggesting potential risks for correction.”
As reported by Cointelegraph, the whales had the opportunity to lock in profits this week.
These include 80,000 BTC mystery owners. 40,000 BTC moved to the Exchange Galaxy Digital wallet on July 15th for each Arkham data.
