What it shows
Long-term holder supply, or LTH supply, is the total amount of BTC held in coins that have not moved on-chain for more than 155 days. The 155-day line is a convention that separates long-term holders from short-term holders. The chart plots this amount in BTC over time, with the BTC price on the same view. The page also shows the percent change of the supply over the last seven days. A rising line means more coins have passed the 155-day mark than have moved. A falling line means the opposite.

How to read it
Read the latest supply value and the 7-day change. A rising line means long-term holders hold more coins. A falling line means some of those coins have moved. The chart is a total of all long-term holders, so it moves slowly. Look for turns in the line and compare them with the BTC price. Past price peaks and troughs came with different LTH supply patterns, so no single pattern applies to each cycle. Read this metric together with the short-term holder supply.
- Read the latest supply in BTC and the 7-day change.
- Find turns in the line and note the BTC price at each turn.
- Compare the line with the short-term holder supply page.
What to keep in mind
Coins move between the two groups by age alone. When a coin passes 155 days, it joins the long-term group without any trade. A rise in LTH supply can therefore come from aging and not from new buying. A fall may come from a transfer between wallets of one owner. Other providers may set a different age threshold. Use the metric together with price and with other data.
A missing value is not zero. Check the source and time under each data block before you compare numbers.
Questions
What is long-term holder supply?
It is the total BTC held in coins that have not moved on-chain for more than 155 days. These coins belong to long-term holders. The metric shows how much of the supply sits unmoved. It is a total, not a count of holders.
How many days make a long-term holder?
This app uses 155 days. A coin that has not moved for more than 155 days counts as a long-term holder coin. A coin that moved within 155 days counts as short-term. Other providers may use other thresholds.
What does rising LTH supply mean?
It means the amount of BTC in long-held coins is growing. Coins pass the 155-day mark, or holders keep their coins unmoved. The rise does not tell whether the cause is new buying or aging of coins. Check the short-term supply as well.
