#美国贸易赤字扩大 The coins are simply not enough to distribute anymore, and the whales are frantically buying up.

Recently, I came across a set of data that is quite insightful:

In 2026, the amount of Bitcoin purchased by institutions was actually six times the new Bitcoin mined by miners.

The specific numbers are as follows——
Institutions: approximately 30,000 BTC entered the market
Miners: only mined 5,700 BTC

The gap is really significant.

From the perspective of the whales, what does this mean? It’s not that no one wants to sell, but there are truly no coins to sell. The market is full of buyers, but the available Bitcoin for trading is decreasing.

Basic economics tells us: when demand far exceeds supply, prices don’t need to wait—they naturally go up.

This is the current situation. Institutions are buying aggressively, miners can’t produce that many, and retail holders are also reducing their holdings. Unless some variable appears, the imbalance of supply and demand will become more and more obvious.

BTC-0,27%

ETH-0,74%

SOL-1,49%

Wow, 30,000 versus 5,700, the gap just blew my mind. Really out of coins now, no wonder things have been so crazy lately. How much do retail investors still have? They must all be buying the dip.

Oh no, I don't have enough coins to distribute. My bricks are about to be crushed by institutions.

Wow, the institutions' current accumulation effort really leaves miners in the dust by a wide margin. Wait, do retail investors still have coins? Why do I have none... If this data is accurate, then a significant rise is not far off. The classic supply and demand tactic always works; it all depends on who panics and starts selling coins first.

Wow, 30k versus 5.7k, the gap is really outrageous. Retail investors are still debating when to buy the dip, but the coins have already been swept away. I really didn't expect the coins to be so scarce, is the supply so tight? It doesn't seem to be a price issue; there really are no coins left to sell. Institutions have swept so much this time, more than what miners have mined in five years, haha.

Six times the gap, now there's really no coin to sell, the supply chain is completely broken. But wait, are the coins held by retail investors really decreasing? Or are they all locked up... The institutional buying spree this time is incredible; miners simply can't keep up. This time is different, it really feels like the last chance to get on board. The crypto world always lacks coins, and I'm just worried that one day no one will want them anymore.

30,000 vs 5,700... The gap is really huge, it feels like coins are truly not enough to go around. Institutions are aggressively buying up, while retail investors are still hesitating. With such a tight supply, the price increase is only a matter of time.

Damn, these numbers are really outrageous, 30,000 versus 5,700, miners are completely overwhelmed. The fact that retail investors' coins are decreasing really hit me; it feels like the big players are indeed holding back a big move. Once supply and demand are out of balance, there's no turning back. No wonder the price isn't soaring. The institution's frantic buying has only one conclusion: they know something we don't. Ah, I have to stay up again watching the K-line; this rhythm is exhausting me. I just want to ask how many retail investors still hold coins; it feels like they've all been washed out. This wave is really just big players cutting small players, then small players buying back, cycle after cycle.
