Long-term investors or long-term holders of Bitcoin are beginning to show an accumulation or buying phase. It has been recorded that 91.507 BTC worth US$8.050.405.190 or around Rp134.9 trillion have been purchased in the last 5 days, according to CheckOnChain data.
This event reflects the selling pressure of long-term Bitcoin market participants beginning to end and concluding a long streak of selling.
It is known that massive selling by long-term investors has been occurring since November 10. At that time, Bitcoin began to experience a long decline until now after reaching its highest point of US$126 thousand.

Widespread protests erupted in Tehran after the value of the Iranian rial fell to a record low, causing people's savings to continue to erode. Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley believes this situation highlights the importance of Bitcoin as a hedge against economic mismanagement.
“Bitcoin offers a new way for people to protect the value of their wealth as local currencies continue to weaken,” he said.
Horsley mentioned that the currency crisis due to poor fiscal policy is not new, and Bitcoin offers an alternative to prevent assets from collapsing. Throughout 2025, the rial recorded a loss of more than 40% in purchasing power against the US dollar.

Not only Bitcoin holders experienced losses throughout the year 2025, as there are still Ethereum and XRP holders who failed to gain annual profits due to significant declines.
Ethereum lost 12.4% in the last year at the current price of US$2,900, while XRP is down 13.1% at the price of US$1.86, according to CoinMarketCap, Tuesday (30/12).
Furthermore, the current decline in Ethereum is due to an outflow of ETFs last week reaching US$59.5 million amid buying pressure and eroded institutional confidence.

This year has been a surprising year for Bitcoin investors. The asset touted as digital gold actually dropped by 7% over the past year compared to other assets.
Not only that, silver also surprised the market by emerging as the top gainer this year. This traditional asset has risen by 174%, outperforming gold, which is the largest market capitalization asset in the world.
This increase also represents the longest upward trend since 1980, making it the third most valuable asset in the world, surpassing technology company Apple.
