The amount of Bitcoin physically available to buy is continuing to fall as nobody really wants to sell at the moment, despite a new all-time high of $47,600.
Recent research by on-chain analytics provider Glassnode has revealed that Bitcoin’s liquid supply is continuing to decrease as investors progressively acquire and hodl the asset for the long term.
The findings indicate that there is currently around 78% of issued Bitcoin are either lost or being hodled. It added that this leaves less than 4 million BTC to be shared amongst future market entrants including large institutional investors such as PayPal, Square, S&P500 companies, ETFs, and the like.

$BTC is sitting above $43k after climbing consistently over the past week, reaching a new ATH of $44,127 today.
