Bitcoin

<h2 id="quick-take">Quick Take</h2>
Within the span of a month, <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/coins/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> miner balances have experienced one of the most notable declines this year.
As of late October, miner balances stood at 1.833 million Bitcoin. However, the subsequent month witnessed a departure of 8,000 Bitcoin from the miner balances. The shift does not necessarily imply that miners have sold their Bitcoin holdings but indicates that they have transferred their Bitcoin to different locations. This marks the largest change in wallets since December 2022.

Despite the shift in miner balances, the movement of Bitcoin from miners to exchanges remains considerably low, suggesting a lack of immediate selling interest toward exchanges.

Amid the ongoing <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/insights/bitcoin-miners-revenue-increasingly-fueled-by-transaction-fees-amid-token-inscription-surge/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">inscription frenzy</a>, miners have profited significantly from these fees, accruing more Bitcoin. Concurrently, the rise in Bitcoin’s price accompanying these events suggests that miners might be strategizing to sell at increasingly higher values.
