 <p class="paragraph">The cryptocurrency exchange reserves of Bitcoin (BTC) reached record lows below 2 million BTC in early April. With now less than 10% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply, an increased demand has the potential to cause a supply shock.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Notably, Finbold retrieved data from <em>CryptoQuant</em> on April 8 that shows 1.94 million BTC in all known exchange addresses. This represents around 9.8% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply of 19.67 million coins issued, by press time.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">The exchange reserves have been in a downtrend since a peak of 2.85 million BTC in July 2021. On that note, these reserves diminish as Bitcoin investors withdraw the coins from these entities’ custody. A decision that shows intent to hold Bitcoin and not actively selling or trading it.</p>

 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-is-a-supply-shock-and-its-price-effects-on-bitcoin">What is a supply shock and its price effects on Bitcoin?</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">A Bitcoin supply shock occurs when the available supply of Bitcoin on exchanges suddenly decreases while facing an increased demand. Essentially, this can translate to a higher buying volume, with a lower selling volume, driving the prices higher.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">One of the factors that contribute to a supply <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="shock" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/shock.html">shock</a> is <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="exchange" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/exchange.html">exchange</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="reserves" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/reserves.html">reserves</a> dropping through significant withdrawals. Consequently, the reduced supply available for trade can lead to a significant increase in Bitcoin’s price.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Moreover, the Bitcoin halving event, which occurs approximately every four years, further exacerbates the supply <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="shock" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/shock.html">shock</a>. After the halving, the amount of newly minted and issued Bitcoins awarded to miners is cut in half.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">In particular, the <em>Bitcoin Magazine</em> believes a supply <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="shock" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/shock.html">shock</a> is imminent for Bitcoin in the joint of these factors.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">Therefore, this reduction in new supply, coupled with the decreased Bitcoin reserves of exchanges, intensifies the economic effects. As a result, the heightened demand for BTC in the face of a dwindling supply has the potential to trigger a sharp rise in its price.&nbsp;</p>
