Bitcoin wallets with 100+ BTC climb to 20,229 as whales keep accumulating

Bitcoin (BTC) saw a steep pullback this week and briefly traded at $76,000, yet large holders continued adding to positions. Wallets holding at least 100 BTC rose to 20,229, up 11.2% from 18,191 a year earlier. Analysts also pointed to elevated capitulation signals and a surge in bearish retail sentiment, while one researcher said U.S. regulatory progress could become a future upside catalyst.
