Bitcoin’s exchange reserves have fallen to a record low of 2.4 million BTC, a drop from 3 million BTC in January 2024, as per a report on Coinpedia. This trend indicates a strong preference for long-term holding, particularly among institutional investors who are withdrawing their assets from exchanges. The tightening supply, combined with growing demand, has driven Bitcoin’s price to an all-time high of $108,000. Analysts believe this scarcity could propel Bitcoin to $120,000, especially following President-elect Donald Trump’s endorsement of a national Bitcoin reserve.
Namun, kebimbangan timbul mengenai penurunan permintaan di Amerika Syarikat. Indeks Premium Coinbase, petunjuk utama minat di Amerika Utara, telah menurun walaupun harga meningkat, menunjukkan potensi kelemahan dalam kenaikan ini. Jika permintaan global kekal kukuh dan rizab pertukaran terus menyusut, harga Bitcoin boleh melihat kenaikan selanjutnya, tetapi mengekalkan pertumbuhan ini mungkin bergantung kepada minat pelabur Amerika Syarikat yang diperbaharui.
