The Bitcoin market drop has generated $2.16 billion in losses, mainly from investors who bought recently. Glassnode blockchain tracking reports this fact.
On February 25, Bitcoin started its market decline by reaching the lowest price level of $90,000 since November 2024. The rapid market fall caused heavy financial damage mainly to traders who purchased BTC during the previous week.
According to Glassnode research, the largest portion of $927 million worth of Bitcoin losses in two weeks went to investors who purchased BTC seven days before the crash. Their investment decline reached 42.5% of all realized losses. People who purchased BTC one month before the crash lost $678 million which stands at 31.3% of all losses.
Long-term Bitcoin holders endured minimal losses
The traders who entered the market during the last day before the price decline endured 14% of the losses, totaling $322 million in losses. People who bought Bitcoin three months before the dip experienced loss values of $257 million or 11.9 percent of the entire loss amount.
Bitcoin owners who kept their coins for three months or longer experienced minimal impact compared to people who purchased BTC recently. The money lost represented by investors who bought BTC throughout the previous six months amounted to minimal 0.3% of overall losses despite their $6.5 million loss.
People who bought BTC over one year early before the crash lost less than $3.2 million, or 0.15% out of the total money invested. According to Glassnode, the phenomenon shows that long-term holders maintained their Bitcoin positions, whereas recent investors preferences prompted them to sell in times of market pressure.
On February 26 the total number of losses hit $1.13 billion as the largest single-day losses, surpassing the $848 million loss from February 3 by 25%. The regular BTC market drops hurt new investors, but most yet seasoned holders keep their faith in the asset. The market stability needs traders to handle price risks better by taking a long-term investing strategy.
