- Over 30,754 BTC worth $3.3B have flowed into accumulation wallets, signaling long-term bullish conviction.
- Bitcoin slumped to $103K after Israeli airstrikes on Iran, but spot holders continued stacking aggressively.
- Over 3.77M BTC have left exchanges in five years, reducing sell pressure and setting the stage for future rallies.
Bitcoin’s price experienced a sharp drop in the past 24 hours, briefly dipping to $103,162 after Israel launched targeted airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile facilities. The escalating conflict triggered a classic “risk-off” move across global markets, with investors seeking safety in traditional assets like gold and oil.
However, unlike previous risk-off episodes, Bitcoin’s underlying fundamentals showed renewed strength beneath the surface.
On-Chain Data Reveals Massive Bitcoin Accumulation
According to on-chain analytics from CryptoQuant and Alphractal, accumulation wallets have absorbed more than 30,754 BTC (valued at $3.3 billion) in recent days. These wallets, many of which have an average buy-in price of $64,000, continued stacking aggressively even above $109,000, suggesting investors’ confidence.
Currently, more than 2.91 million BTC are parked in these accumulation addresses, with over 881,000 BTC added in the past 30 days alone, a figure confirmed by CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju.
This disciplined buying comes amid increased geopolitical tensions and a decline in the Fear & Greed Index to 54, reflecting a market shift from euphoria to caution. Yet accumulation behavior remains largely unchanged.
Bitcoin Continues Its Exodus from Exchanges
Adding to the bullish backdrop, Alphractal’s analysis highlights a longer-term trend: more than 3.77 million BTC (worth nearly $219 billion) have been withdrawn from centralized exchanges over the past five years.
The exodus points to a maturing investor base focused on self-custody and long-term value preservation. The diminishing liquid supply on exchanges, a historic precursor to price breakouts, may help absorb future selling pressure and tighten available inventory.

Meanwhile, traditional markets remain under pressure. The Euro Stoxx 50 fell 1.4%, and US index futures traded lower across the board. Conversely, gold surged to $3,436 per ounce, and crude oil spiked as much as 9%.
Bitcoin’s comparatively modest reaction suggests that while it remains sensitive to global headlines, it’s increasingly behaving like a strategic hedge, not just a speculative asset.
