The largest daily outflows were approximately 12,000 BTC, within what the analytics company considers a normal range.<\/p>\n<p>Older miners are also selling substantially fewer units. Excluding Patoshi-associated BTC, Satoshi-era miners moved approximately 600 units out of their wallets in September, around 70% below January&#8217;s 2,000 BTC. At the same time, their combined holdings remain close to 590,000 bitcoins.<\/p>\n<p>The trend extends to larger modern miners as addresses holding between 100 and 1,000 units saw their collective balance drop by about 20%, from roughly 64,000 BTC in December 2025 to 51,000 BTC by early September. However, the figure has since stabilized rather than continuing to decline.<\/p>\n<p>Although CQ admitted that miners are not accumulating yet, the report determined that the persistent selling pressure has stopped. This is a notable change from early August, when we <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-miners-are-selling-again-heres-how-much-btc-was-reportedly-offloaded\/\">reported<\/a> that major miners, including MARA and Riot Platforms, were continuing to move BTC to NYDIG amid difficult industry and market conditions.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-such-a-change\">Why Such a Change?<\/h2>\n<p>The report explained that miners are not obligated to sell right now because BTC has rallied 45% from under $58,000 at the start of July to over $83,000 this week. This lifted the total daily miner revenue from $27 million to around $48 million, which shows a 78% increase. Transaction fees also recovered from a seven-day average of $195,000 to $275,000, although they remain far below the peaks seen in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>CryptoQuant&#8217;s Miner Profit\/Loss Sustainability Indicator shifted from &#8220;extremely underpaid&#8221; between May and August to &#8220;fairly paid&#8221; after August 21. This means miners earning enough to cover operating costs need less to liquidate BTC just to stay afloat.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin&#8217;s hash rate has recovered as well, going from under 900 EH\/s in late July to over 960 EH\/s, while its drawdown from the previous peak narrowed from 18% to 13%. CQ interprets this as mining capacity returning rather than operators capitulating.<\/p>\n<p>However, the report outlined a missing piece. Miners have stopped selling, but they have not yet started rebuilding their BTC balances. CQ believes a sustained return to accumulation would provide an even stronger signal that the backbone of the Bitcoin network has shifted decisively from a source of market supply to long-term holders.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-miners-stop-selling-aggressively-why-this-could-be-big-for-btc\/\">Bitcoin Miners Stop Selling Aggressively: Why This Could Be Big for BTC<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-miners-stop-selling-aggressively-why-this-could-be-big-for-btc\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CryptoQuant&#8217;s latest weekly report, shared with CryptoPotato, said that bitcoin miners&#8217; revenues have jumped 78% from the July&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9242,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47884","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-crypto","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47884","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=47884"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47884\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=47884"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=47884"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=47884"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
