Bitcoin , the world’s most valuable digital asset, saw a major rally during the first two weeks of October. BTC is now up by more than 40% since 1 October 2021. Due to the latest rally, a large part of the overall Bitcoin supply has turned profitable.

According to Glassnode, one of the leading on-chain analysis firms, more than 99% of the BTC supply is now in profit. Long-term holders of the world’s most dominant crypto asset are planning to hold Bitcoin for the next few years.

“With Bitcoin over $60k once again, only 0.98% of the circulating supply was last spent at higher prices. Owners of this 185,816 BTC HODLed throughout all the Volatility , the ups, and the downs of the last 6 months. 99.02% of all BTC supply is now in profit,” Glassnode highlighted.

Apart from the latest jump in the profitability of BTC’s supply, its option volume and open interest jumped significantly during the first two weeks of October 2021. “Open interest is up an incredible +107% ($6.3B) since the September lows. Bitcoin option volume is similarly elevated, peaking at $1.5B per day last week. The last time option trade volume was this high was on three occasions from March through to May this year,” Glassnode added.
