Large Bitcoin investors, known as whales and sharks, recorded average daily losses of $337 million during the first quarter of 2026.Summary
Data from Glassnode reveals that Bitcoin investors holding between 100 and 10,000 BTC realized a combined $30.91 billion in losses during Q1 2026, averaging $337 million daily. This trend, driven by macro-economic pressures such as inflation fears and geopolitical instability, mirrors the capitulation seen during the 2022 market downturn. Analysts suggest that continued selling by long-term holders indicates potential for further price declines, with some experts identifying the $40,000 to $50,000 range as a possible market bottom.
