Bitcoin Realized Gains Spike to $2.4B Amid Heightened Profit-Taking Activity

Bitcoin Profit-Taking Rises as Realized Gains Reach $2.4 Billion

Even as U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs continue to draw steady inflows, long-term Bitcoin holders have been locking in profits, adding pressure to the market.

Profit-taking gained momentum across the Bitcoin network on Monday, contributing to a slight decline in BTC’s spot price on the final day of Q2.

Blockchain analytics firm Glassnode reported that realized profits climbed to $2.4 billion, with the seven-day average increasing to $1.52 billion—the highest since late May.

“That’s above the 2025 average of $1.14 billion, but still below the peaks of $4 billion to $5 billion (7-day SMA) seen in November and December of last year,” Glassnode noted on X.

Realized profit tracks the total dollar amount of Bitcoin transactions in which coins were sold for more than their purchase price.

On Monday, Bitcoin’s spot price edged down by 1% to $107,180. Since mid-May, BTC has mostly traded between $100,000 and $110,000, as sales by long-term holders have balanced out continued investments into U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs.
