Utilizing data from Glassnode to estimate a market-wide cost basis reveals intriguing trends in the average price at which coins are withdrawn from exchanges. The information, segregated into cohorts, uncovers an upward trajectory on a cost basis, indicating a trend of purchasing Bitcoin at incrementally higher prices.
Most notably, the 2024 cohorts experienced a significant upswing, seeing an average profit margin of about $10,500, which translates to an approximately 20% gain from their initial cost basis ($52,478), according to data from Glassnode.
Interestingly, the 2021 cohort managed to significantly reduce their cost basis from $47,000 to a more conservative $36,971, as highlighted by recent CryptoSlate data analysis. Despite the reduction, the cost basis for all cohorts has risen in recent months, showing an unwavering dedication to buying Bitcoin regardless of increasing prices.
