Blockchain data analysis has revealed a significant trend among cryptocurrency miners who continue to shed their Bitcoin holdings in anticipation of the upcoming reward halving event.

Latest findings show that the amount of Bitcoin (BTC) held by crypto miners has fallen to its lowest level since July 2021.
According to data compiled by Glassnode, estimated BTC holdings in miner wallets have decreased by 8,426 BTC (equivalent to $530 million) since the beginning of the year, to a total of 1,812,482 BTC.
This downward trend began in the second half of October, following the peak when miners collectively owned 1.83 million BTC.
Miners play an important role in the cryptocurrency ecosystem by verifying transactions and adding them to the blockchain. In return for their efforts, they receive newly minted coins as block rewards as well as transaction fees.

Currently miners are rewarded with 6.25 BTC per block. However, with the halving event scheduled to take place in April, this figure will drop to 3,125 BTC, marking a 50% decrease in revenue per block.
In response to this impending change, miners are strategically managing their operations by potentially liquidating stored BTC to fund the purchase of more efficient mining equipment.
This move aims to reduce operating costs and optimize profitability in light of the changing economic dynamics after the halving.
