Supply Last Active 5y–7y adds up the BTC in unspent outputs whose last on-chain move was five to seven years ago. It is an absolute coin balance, not a percentage of circulating supply.
A growing balance means more coins are reaching five years of dormancy than are being spent or aging past seven years. The band reached about 2.13 million BTC on January 15, 2024, illustrating how a large old cohort can build up before later leaving this age range. A decline can reflect either spending or continued holding into the next band.
This is a two-year slice of dormant supply, so its direction alone cannot establish whether old holders are distributing. Transfers between wallets can reset age without a sale, and lost coins remain included until they age out; compare the 7y–10y band and total 5y+ share.
Coins leave this band when they reach seven years since their last move. A decline matched by growth in 7y–10y supply can therefore reflect continued dormancy rather than renewed activity.
This series counts only the five-to-seven-year band in BTC. The 5y+ series includes all older coins as well and is displayed as a percentage of circulating supply.
No coins could have reached five years of age in the network’s first five years. The supplied history stays at zero through 2013, with this cohort appearing in 2014.
