The number of Bitcoin held on cryptocurrency exchanges has reached a five-year low, with around 2.6 million BTC currently held on these platforms, down from 3.3 million two years ago. This decline in Bitcoin on exchanges is seen as a bullish sign, suggesting that demand for the cryptocurrency is steady or increasing, potentially leading to a price rise. This trend coincides with a decrease in Bitcoin reserves held by miners, which are currently at their lowest level since January 2021. The recent halving upgrade in April, which reduced the rewards for miners, is a contributing factor to this decrease. However, some publicly traded mining firms have been increasing their Bitcoin holdings, indicating confidence in the cryptocurrency.
