Who is buying bitcoin

Bitcoin bought, sold, mined and moved, by channel

Each row is measured over its own period, so the rows are not added up. Exchanges and long-term holders are holdings (a rise means more coins arrived than left); ETFs and companies are what the funds and filings report. A transfer between wallets we cannot identify is not a purchase or a sale and is not counted anywhere.

Each fund on 23 October 2026

From each issuer's own end-of-day holdings file: a fund's flow is the change in the bitcoin it holds from one trading day to the next. A day counts once every fund has published it, so the latest complete day can lag by a day or two. Not included, because their issuers' sites refuse automated readers: GBTC and BTC (Grayscale); BTCW (WisdomTree); BRRR (CoinShares); MSBT (Morgan Stanley); their flows are missing from every total here. Fund by fund for every day: Bitcoin ETF flows.

Latest filings dated in the past 30 days

From the companies' own SEC filings (8-K, 10-Q, 10-K), as our treasury ledger accepts them; a company reports when it chooses, so a quiet month says nothing about purchases in between. Every company with its latest figure: Bitcoin treasury companies. Our ledger last checked every company's filings at 18:37 UTC on 27 Oct 2026.

• Each block now pays its miner a subsidy of 3.125 BTC in new coins, about 450 BTC a day at 144 blocks a day. Over the 7 UTC days to 26 Oct 2026 our node counted 3,381.25 BTC, 483.04 BTC a day.
• New coins are the only bitcoin that did not come from an earlier holder: every other purchase on this page is bitcoin someone else sold.

The daily rise of our Circulating Supply chart: each block's coinbase outputs minus the fees it collected, from our own node. What miners do with their coins is on paid plans (see below).

Balances are counted from our own node on the addresses each covered exchange publishes as its own reserves. The exchange balance is a classic chart a free account opens in full; signed out, this page gives today's value and its change over 30 days. Every exchange ranked by its daily net flow: Exchanges.

Moved is not sold: old coins also move when a holder changes wallets or a custodian reorganises. Every move of old coins as it happens, with alerts: Dormant bitcoin.

Large transfers by UTC day

Payments of 1,000 BTC or more, past 24 hours

By UTC day, a transfer is what one transaction pays to one address other than its own inputs (our Largest Transfer and Large Transfers charts). The past 24 hours list each transaction paying 1,000 BTC or more in total to addresses other than its own; covered exchanges are named and every other wallet is unidentified, and most of the largest moves are custodians and exchanges reorganising their own wallets. As they happen: the live tape.
