<ul>
 <li>Low and whale tiers of Bitcoin wallets have been accumulating over the past weeks.</li>
 <li>Active addresses have, however, dropped in the past few days.</li>
</ul>
Certain <a href="https://ambcrypto.com/search/bitcoin" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="internal">Bitcoin [BTC]</a> wallets have persistently accumulated assets despite the prevailing price trend. However, the number of active addresses has been decreasing despite the accumulation of these wallets.
<h4>Bitcoin wallets see accumulation variations</h4>
According to a recent <a href="https://twitter.com/santimentfeed/status/1736770509252301301?t=DZGbkSSPYzk_LQPIExCJZw&amp;s=19" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="external">Santiment</a> post, <a href="https://ambcrypto.com/why-bitcoin-longs-are-seeing-liquidations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="internal">Bitcoin</a> has shown diverse accumulation patterns across its lowest, mid, and high-tier wallets. The chart analysis showed a notable increase in accumulation among low-tier wallets holding 0-1 coins.
 This uptrend started around October and has steadily continued. And it resulted in these wallets currently holding around 1.42 million BTCs.&nbsp;
Also, another category experiencing slight uptrends is wallets with 10-infinity BTCs. 
Although the accumulation is less pronounced than in lower-tier wallets, the incremental uptrends are noteworthy. As of this writing, these wallets held around 11.57 million BTCs.

In contrast, mid-tier wallets have been moving in the opposite direction, with a visible reduction in holdings.
 While the decrease is not drastic, it is noticeable in the chart. As of this writing, these wallets held around 6.57 million BTCs. This suggests that this particular class of wallets has been selling off its holdings amid fluctuations in the Bitcoin price.
<h4>Active Bitcoin addresses continue to decrease&nbsp;</h4>
The <a href="https://ambcrypto.com/bitcoin-fees-soar-should-you-be-concerned/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="internal">Bitcoin</a> seven-day active addresses metric on Santiment showed a recent decrease. The chart showed that this decline started around 13th December, and a sustained downtrend has been observed. 
On 13th December, the number of active addresses was about 4.9 million, reflecting a prior decrease. 
At the time of this writing, active addresses had reduced to about 4.1 million. This signifies a reduction in the participation of addresses in BTC trading, possibly influenced by the price trend.
