Bitcoin (BTC)’s ongoing price consolidation hasn’t, deterred users popularly known as “whales.” New data reported by Satoshi Club today shows that large investors have resumed accumulating BTC. These investors are normally associated with institutions, funds, or high-net-worth individuals with a long-term outlook.
Whale wallets are stacking
According to the data, Bitcoin is in the limelight as large-scale buyers are back in the market. Whales on exchanges are buying the asset as prices retract downward, seven days after BTC reached a new ATH on May 22.
As stated by the data, addresses holding 1,000 and 10,000 BTC have increased dramatically since May 6, 2025, coinciding with a 16% price surge gained over the past month. This is an indicator of rising investor enthusiasm, typically connected with future price increases as pointed out by market analyst CryptoQuant.
When big investors actively purchase Bitcoin, this signals a looming price upward trend. Their strategic acquisitions decrease the circulating supply of the tokens, which could trigger upside pressure on prices if investors continue showing strong demand.
This behavior signifies that institutional investors are not discouraged by short-term volatilities, but embrace a long-term outlook and position themselves for future price momentum.
Correction health for the market
Bitcoin price correction could deepen, according to digital asset market analyst Nick Forster. Today, the token’s value currently stands at $103,716, down 1.6% over yesterday and 3.8% in the past week.
Nick believes that Bitcoin may embrace a period of consolidation following the reinstatement of Trump’s tariffs by a US court yesterday. The analyst clarified that this doesn’t necessarily mean that BTC is undergoing a bearish phase.
The recent market rally that catapulted BTC price to climb to a new AHT of $111,814 was significant. However, the current price falls signify that the asset has entered into a period of correction, which could be a healthy, short break before another notable upside momentum. From the analyst’s point of view, this break will empower the market with ‘time’ to assess recent gains and prepare for the upcoming movement.
