New Bitcoin Whales Make a Splash, Old Holders Sleep Through It

The analysis tracks two distinct categories of large Bitcoin holders across the April 3 to May 2 period. The methodology separates entities holding more than 1,000 BTC into two camps based on the age of their holdings. New Whales are those whose Bitcoin is younger than 155 days – recent capital that tends to be more price-sensitive and tactically active. Old Whales hold Bitcoin older than 155 days – longer-term, more structurally committed capital that tends to move less reactively to short-term price changes.
