Quick Take
In an intriguing turn of events, the total Bitcoin supply held in miner addresses has dipped to a level not observed since August 2021. Miner balances hold approximately 1.187 million Bitcoin, marking a significant departure of 15k BTC since Oct. 2023. These changes, however, do not necessarily indicate that miners are offloading their Bitcoin holdings. The data suggests a minimal amount of Bitcoin has been transferred to exchanges, implying that we are most likely witnessing a reorganization of wallets rather than a sell-off.

Could this potentially introduce further sell pressure if these miners decided to sell their holdings? Factors include the lowest Bitcoin fees since the November frenzy of Inscriptions and a looming Bitcoin halving in April.
