In the cryptocurrency realm, a significant trend emerges as more investors embrace a patient approach. A substantial portion of Bitcoin, about 68.54% of the total supply, has remained dormant for at least a year, reflecting a preference for a long-term investment strategy.

Bitfinex analysts note a strong bias toward holding Bitcoin long-term. While some dormant supply may include lost coins, a considerable amount represents a deliberate choice by investors. This trend reached a peak of 69.2% recently. 
The inactivity duration shows that 56% of the circulating supply has been dormant for at least two years, and an impressive 40% for a minimum of three years. This underscores a shift in sentiment and a belief in BTC’s lasting value, despite market volatility. 
It’s worth noting that this data doesn’t fully capture BTC’s evolving role. Financialization has introduced innovative investment options like CME’s futures and ETFs, enabling exposure without direct ownership. 
According to CoinMarketCap, BTC <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/bitcoin-news-can-btc-reach-100k-before-halving/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Price</a> currently stands at $29,369 with a high of 1.20%. And the <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/bitcoin-price-consolidates-trading-volume-down-30/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">trading volume</a> is up 67.61%, resting at $14,429,775,835. 
In conclusion, the rise in dormant Bitcoin indicates a broader shift towards patient long-term investment, driven by a belief in Bitcoin’s enduring value.
