The count of wallets holding at least 10,000 BTC has climbed back to 90, a six-month peak, rising by six over the past eight weeks according to Santiment. Wallets in the 10 to 10,000 BTC range have accumulated roughly $1.5 billion worth since July 29, even as micro wallets have shrunk steadily through August. Analysts tie the divergence to the Coldcard exploit and Clarity Act delays shaking out smaller holders, and note this pattern historically favors a push above $70,000 over a drop under $60,000.
