Small Hodler owns 13.9% of the total Bitcoin supply

According to a recent Glassnode tweet, the total holdings of small Bitcoin hodlers are now 14 times higher than that of the aforementioned crypto whale. They continued to rally the top cryptocurrency as it suffered a significant price correction.

Using data from analyst Willy Woo, Glassnode tweeted that Bitcoin addresses with less than 10 BTC balances have amassed bitcoin faster than before since the crypto king moved from its all-time highs.

Currently, these small owners own almost 14% of all Bitcoin supply.

As it seems to be tradition, smaller #Bitcoin HODLers are often stackable $ BTC after significant corrections.

Mining Difficulty

As the hashrate of the Bitcoin network continues to recover as global miners amass more capacity, the cryptocurrency is becoming increasingly difficult to mine.

On September 21, the Bitcoin network saw another 3.2% adjustment in mining difficulty, reaching nearly 19 trillion, according to data from BTC.com.

The latest correction represents the fifth consecutive increase in Bitcoin mining difficulty since mid-July, by more than 31% from around 13.7 trillion euros – the lowest level since June 2020.

Despite 5 positive corrections in a row, the current difficulty of Bitcoin mining is still far from the all-time high of over 25 trillion that was recorded in May 2021.

$ 100,000 goal for Bitcoin

Mike McGlone, commodities strategist at Bloomberg, claims Bitcoin could hit $ 100,000 later this year despite the massive correction due to the financial troubles of Chinese real estate giant Evergrande Group.

McGlone says he underestimates the number of investors (including institutions) who have moved their funds from the traditional safe haven of gold to Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Since gold has unlimited potential and Bitcoin is only 21 million (more than 18 million coins have been mined), Bitcoin is still attracting more and more investors who used to bet on gold.

According to McGlone, gold is down 7% this year, Bitcoin is down almost 70% and Ethereum is down almost 400%.
