Whale Supply (1k–10k BTC)

How much bitcoin sits in whale-sized wallets — addresses holding between 1,000 and 10,000 ₿. Big enough to move the market, small enough to be individual owners rather than only exchanges.

The total bitcoin held in addresses whose current balance is at least 1,000 ₿ and under 10,000 ₿. 'Whale' is simply the label for that size band; an address is one account number on the blockchain.

Rising means this tier is buying and holding; **falling** means it is selling or splitting coins into smaller addresses. For example, a rise from 1.60 million ₿ to 1.66 million ₿ over a month means about 60,000 ₿ flowed into whale-sized addresses — more than four times what miners created in that month.

The direction of the change matters more than the level.

Each day **our own Bitcoin node** adds up the current balance of every address holding at least 1,000 ₿ and less than 10,000 ₿.

This counts addresses, not people: one owner can hold many addresses, and coins moving between an owner's own wallets can shift the band without anything being bought or sold.
