Bitcoin Miners Dumped Record BTC Holdings—Just Before May’s Rocket Rally

Bitcoin Miners Sold Record Amount of BTC Ahead of May’s Price Surge

Talk about bad timing. Bitcoin miners unloaded a historic amount of BTC right before May’s explosive price surge—leaving millions on the table while hedge funds feasted.

Miners: The ultimate weak hands? These network powerhouses slashed reserves at the worst possible moment, proving even crypto’s backbone players can’t time the market.

Meanwhile, institutional traders—armed with better data and caffeine-addled quants—scooped up the discounted coins. Another reminder: in crypto, the little guy (even if that ’little guy’ runs an industrial mining rig) always gets the dull end of the stick.

Risk warning: Digital asset trading is an emerging industry with bright prospects, but it also comes with huge risks as it is a new market. The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
