Bitcoin Long-Term Holder Cost Basis Jumps
On-chain analytics firm Glassnode reports that Bitcoin’s Long-Term Holder (LTH) realized price has risen to $45,340. It also reflects the aging of coins purchased in the $90,000-$100,000 range, now transitioning into the long-term holder category. The rising cost basis highlights the growing maturity of BTC holders for the long term.
