The Bitcoin (BTC) market today can invade a new stage by focusing on two large cohorts of many investors.
At the end of September, 5.9 million BTC was managed by long-term investors and companies cited in the stock market. This number represents 28% (21 million) of all BTCs that once existed.
These investor cohorts will manage more than 6 million currencies this December, according to investment firm Fidelity Digital Assets.
Fidelity points out that Bitcoin may be in the early stages of a broader structural change, and believes the asset will “remain a dynamic experiment in economics.”
The company analyzed the evolution of the illegal supply of Bitcoin, namely it remains inactive for a long period or at the Ministry of Corporate Treasury. For them, when 95% of BTC is already circulating now, the network moves towards an era defined by rarity.
They believe that when limited supply is combined with increased demand, prices are the ultimate variables that adjust. therefore, Movements of large owners and public companies have emerged as a key factor in market dynamics.
The weight of the ancient owner
Fidelity highlights that long-term investors, the first cohort to identify as owning BTC that has not moved for more than seven years, have been “proven to be very illegal.” This is because the total Bitcoin supply has increased quarterly since 2016.
The graph below shows both the quarterly net change for this group and the total amount of Bitcoin it contains.
Generally, this cohort accumulates around 5 million coins. It has been revealed that this is one of the factors that drives the market. In the case of Alexis Lugo, a BTC professor and enthusiast “They are what they’re about to move, they’re already driving the Bitcoin economy, and they’re on a pretty high level.”
«Bitcoin has already passed a barrier that retail buyers can mark patterns. Companies like BlackRock are seeing companies like strategy undoubtedly mark patterns and mark market movements,” he said in a dialogue with Cryptootics.
Corporate as a central actor
The second cohort identified by Fidelity also relates to companies cited in the stock market with at least 1,000 BTC in the balance. Together, they have over 960,000 BTC until September 2025. This amount corresponds to 99% of what all companies listed on the stock market maintain.
The majority of holdings are concentrated in 30 organizations, with excellent examples such as Strategy, Mara Holdings, and 21 examples. This group is a reference to the role of a company in the market.
Cristobal Pereira, director of Digital Asset Habratum, has joined this useful portal. Company recruitment creates clear signals for the market. “Public companies create indications of confidence in the market due to their obligation to publicly report these decisions,” he said.
By adding accumulation of long-term holders with accumulation of companies, Fidelity observes an accelerated trend in purchasing and holdings over frequent trade. This situation supports an increase in participation in illegal supplyonly decreased in a quarter of the time the record was run.
Trends to be maintained until 2032
Fidelity will project as trends continue. According to that calculation, approximately 42% of Bitcoin’s circular supply (over 8.3 million units) would be considered illegal in 2032. And in the increase in the number of companies that maintain important positions.
The company also remembers the historical role of Nakamoto, the pseudonym creator of La Moneda, which is estimated to have more than 1.1 million Bitcoin. That number already exceeds the amount of unextracted currency, It symbolizes the potential concentration of a particular actor.
However, they are not exempt from the risks in the future. Exchange Bitmex analysts warn that some companies accumulating Bitcoin could break, potentially creating a domino effect on the market.
Despite the risks, the shift from an era of abundance to another shortage in Bitcoin gives an indication of ongoing. The salience of long-term holders and companies that incorporate currency into the Ministry of Finance reinforces this narrative.
According to loyalty, if corporate recruitment and national adoption continues to progress in the future, illiquid supply could grow further and strengthen the trend towards concentration.
As for that entity, current dynamics confirm that Bitcoin remains a “dynamic experiment in economics”, but is increasingly integrated into investment strategies and value protection. For investors, Understanding this structural change is important when planning movements in markets defined by rarity.
