Bitcoin whales on a buying spree, triggering a supply squeeze

Bitcoin ( BTC ) whales, led by institutional investors, have accelerated their accumulation pace in the past few weeks through April 16. Over the past four days, Bitcoin whales acquired 10,000 BTC, valued at about $750 million, according to on-chain analytics from Santiment . As such, this group of investors increased their BTC holdings to 5.17 million coins, worth approximately $383.36 billion at press time. BTC held by whales.
