Glassnode, a blockchain data firm, has reported that nearly all circulating Bitcoin
$121,481.66
is currently held at a profit.
While this marks a positive milestone, the firm also notes a few factors that could bring short-term risk.
According to the latest analysis, about 97% of Bitcoin’s total supply is worth more than when it was acquired. This level of profitability often appears near the later stages of price surges, where momentum can slow as some holders begin to sell and secure gains.
