Bitcoin's recent surge has sparked growing enthusiasm within the crypto space, with both small-scale and institutional investors showing renewed interest.

Retail investors, in particular, are actively accumulating Bitcoin , signaling rising confidence in its long-term value despite recent market fluctuations.

The number of Bitcoin wallet addresses holding under 1 BTC has notably increased, now surpassing 323,000, a 21% rise from earlier levels. This trend began when Bitcoin reached around $61,000 and has only accelerated as the price nears $101,000.

These smaller holders, often referred to as “shrimps,” are steadily building their positions, reflecting growing belief in Bitcoin’s future potential. Experts predict that this number could continue to rise, further boosting Bitcoin’s distribution at the grassroots level.

Alongside retail investors, large holders, or “whales,” are also showing a strong commitment to Bitcoin. Recent data indicates an uptick in the amount of BTC held by these investors, reinforcing the bullish sentiment around the asset.

This combination of increased retail and institutional interest suggests that Bitcoin’s price could continue to rise, supported by both grassroots adoption and institutional backing. With Bitcoin trading at around $105,000, the market is poised for further upward movement as confidence builds.
