Bitcoin has experienced significant price volatility that has forced its price to stay under $100K since February 4, 2025. However, the recent dips have enabled whales to acquire BTC as retail investors rush to sell because they are worried about further price drop. Following the accumulation, February has recorded 135 new wallets holding over $100K worth of BTC.
Huge accumulation by whales is often associated with an impending BTC bullish rally. As hinted by a top crypto analyst Vivek in relation to the BTC whale accumulations, “something is coming big time.”

Bitcoin Whales Buy the Dips As Price Volatility Prevail
Fear induced by a potential Trade War between the US and China has pushed many retail investors to exit the market. As shared by Santiment, “for small retail traders, especially the ones who first entered the markets in the past 6 months, the volatility is causing them to liquidate.” Nonetheless, the large market players remain bullish as they have accumulated more tokens in recent price drops.
Santiment shows that 135 new wallets with over $100K BTC holdings have emerged in February. Wallets with less than $100K BTC have also dropped to 138,680.
Based on current conditions, the price of Bitcoin might surge. However, the bullish rally may take a while to actualize. “This is an ideal setup for crypto market caps to rise, even if it takes a few more weeks (or even months) to see the generally bullish impact of coins being absorbed by whales,” Santiment wrote.
Bitcoin Holders Continue to Face Huge Selling Pressure
Despite recent whale accumulations, the market believes that Bitcoin’s bullish rally is over as depicted by increased selling pressure. Selling pressure is on the rise according to Ali Martinez, a top crypto analyst.
“$2.73 billion in #Bitcoin $BTC profits were realized yesterday, increasing selling pressure in the market,” Martinez’s post on X earlier today read.
Data on Coinmarketcap shows that BTC is trading at 98,042.73%. This shows a 0.23% increase in the day. BTC’s trading volume has decreased by 31.97% to $45.01 Billion in the last 24 hours.
The market capitalization stands at $1.94 Trillion while circulating supply shows 19.82 Million tokens. BTC may rise further after US president Donald Trump’s son Eric Trump showed interest in acquiring BTC earlier.
