BTC: Unrealized Loss — Priced Supply
Bitcoin Unrealized Loss was $134,007,532,754.59 on 7 Nov 2026 (latest daily value).
Bitcoin's total paper loss in dollars: for every coin now worth less than when it last moved, the loss, added up.
Why use it. It shows how much pain holders are sitting on; large unrealized losses have come near capitulation and cycle bottoms. How to read it. It is shown as a positive amount and only adds losses; gains are in the unrealized profit chart. It is loss on paper, not money lost.
Calculation. How ours differs: only coins whose purchase day we can price are counted (most of the supply); coins without a known price are left out, not valued at zero, so read unknown-price BTC and price coverage alongside it. Exact definition: Positive unrealized loss magnitude on known-basis unspent value for the whole spendable snapshot. The loss magnitude is positive, not a signed negative balance or an executed loss. Zero is valid with positive priced BTC; absent market quote or no positive priced BTC is undefined. Read unknown-price BTC and price coverage alongside the result. Unobserved history stays unknown; genuine source/price holds and partial/provisional/final labels remain in force. For each known-basis BTC amount, sum only positive creation-basis minus period-end-price differences times that amount. The spendable snapshot follows the highest canonical block assigned to the UTC period, including eligible coinbase/change but excluding genesis, provably unspendable outputs and BIP30 overwrite losses. Use local canonical Bitcoin outputs and undo facts with separately admitted creation-day-start BTC/USD quotes. Historical daily boundaries use retrospective previous-day closes with unknown release time and vintage; hourly quotes use recorded prospective observations. Method retains provider credits and price rights. Missing prices are never filled.
