BlockBeats News, October 24th, according to CryptoQuant data, in 2025, a large-scale “reawakening” of Bitcoin that has been dormant for over 7 years has started. As of October, the circulating supply has exceeded last year’s total, with two months left in the year. The specific data is as follows:
• 2023: 59,000 BTC;
• 2024: 255,000 BTC;
• 2025: 270,000 BTC (a historical high).
Analysts state that the possible reasons are as follows:
Regular transfer by old miners.
Transfer to a new cold wallet for security upgrades.
Sustained high prices leading to some profit-taking.
Finally, the analysis concludes that at the current rate, the circulating supply of old coins aged 7 years or more is highly likely to exceed 300,000 BTC for the year.
