Bitcoin’s 41.5% Drop in 2025 Purchases Suggests Market Bottom, Analyst Says

BitcoinWorld Bitcoin’s 41.5% Drop in 2025 Purchases Suggests Market Bottom, Analyst Says A recent on-chain analysis by crypto analyst Murphy suggests that Bitcoin purchased over the past year is now largely underwater, with a 41.5% decline from the December 2024 peak.

This drop, excluding wallet transfers, points to potential stop-loss selling, but also hints at a possible market bottom.

Analyzing the 2025 Bitcoin Holdings Murphy’s analysis, shared on X, reveals that BTC bought in 2025 has fallen significantly, leaving approximately 4.77 million BTC in loss.

This figure represents a substantial portion of the market, and the decline mirrors patterns seen in previous bear markets. Historical data shows that during the 2018 bear market, BTC bought near the previous peak dropped 62%, and in 2022, it fell 51%.
