Bitcoin Makes History: Dormant Supply Growth Surpasses New Issuance for First Time Ever

HODLers just flipped the script. Bitcoin’s dormant supply—coins gathering digital dust in wallets—is now growing faster than newly minted BTC. A seismic shift in the asset’s 16-year history.

The ultimate diamond-hand flex

While miners keep churning out ~900 BTC daily, long-term holders are quietly locking down more. Translation? Market veterans see more upside in parking assets than flipping them—even as Wall Street tries to slap a 'risk asset' label on it.

When 'doing nothing' beats institutional playbooks

Traditional finance brains short-circuit at this paradox. How does an asset gain value by being taken offline? (Spoiler: Try telling that to someone who bought at $65k and still hasn’t sold at $120k). Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s code keeps executing its original mandate—with zero regard for banker narratives.

The kicker? This milestone drops as ETF issuers scramble to source actual BTC. Poetic justice for an asset that thrives on scarcity. Maybe Jamie Dimon was right about one thing—just not in the way he intended.
