<p>The Bitcoin saga continues, and this time, it’s a staggering growth in the number of profitable addresses that’s catching everyone’s attention. Among the various cryptocurrencies, BTC shines the brightest, with <strong>over 90% of addresses in the green</strong>. According to data from IntoTheBlock (reported by <a href="https://coingape.com/bitcoin-btc-addresses-in-profit-tops-90-as-price-eyes-50k/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Coingape</a>), nearly 46.67 million addresses are now in a profitable position, while <strong>only 3.81 million are in the red</strong>, representing 7.35% of the total.</p>
<p>But most notably, it’s the <strong>soaring number of addresses reaching the break-even point, with 1.35 million addresses</strong> (2.60%) now in this camp. This surge is largely attributed to recent developments, including the launch of Bitcoin spot ETFs, which have attracted institutional investors’ attention following the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approval.</p>

<p>Interest in these ETFs has spiked in recent days, driven by the recent rise in BTC price. Resulting in a <strong>net inflow of $541.5 million on February 9th</strong>. Although this profitability may fluctuate, it remains a key indicator of the health of the Bitcoin network, testament to its growth and increasing adoption.</p>
<h2 id="h-institutional-hodlers-the-new-players-in-the-market">Institutional HODLers: The New Players in the Market</h2>
<p>As BTC approaches $50,000, institutional investors, also known as HODLers, are making their move. <strong>MicroStrategy</strong>, a leader in Bitcoin investment, has recently increased <strong>its holdings to 190,000 BTC,</strong> cementing its status as a pioneer in the field.</p>

<p>Having acquired BTC at an average price of $29,857 in November 2023, the company reported <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/microstrategy-enregistre-11-milliard-de-benefice-sur-ses-bitcoins/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">an unrealized profit of $1.1 billion</a> at the same time according to LookOnChain. This bold strategy, proving that BTC can outperform traditional assets like gold, positions MicroStrategy among the most visionary investors in Bitcoin history.</p>
<p>As the bull market seems inevitable, the emergence of institutional HODLers promises a new era for the flagship cryptocurrency.</p>
