About this metric
What it measures
Spent Volume in Profit by Wallet Size groups daily BTC transfers made above their previous on-chain reference price by address-balance size, from <0.001 BTC to >100K BTC. Each series measures profitable BTC volume assigned to that balance group; Total combines the groups.
How to read it
Read the balance bands to locate the source of profitable turnover, rather than treating all movement as one market-wide event. The 1K–10K BTC group recorded roughly 2.75 million BTC on June 15, 2022, its historical maximum, showing how a single large-balance cohort can generate unusually heavy activity.
These are gross transfers, so coins can circulate more than once and volumes can exceed the cohort's holdings. Large addresses may belong to exchanges or custodians serving many users; address splitting, consolidation and changing balances can alter the breakdown without a comparable change in investors' behavior.

FAQ
Does a spike in 1K–10K BTC profitable volume prove whales took profit?
It shows profitable on-chain movement attributed to that balance band, not a verified exchange trade. Large service wallets and internal reorganizations can contribute substantial volume.
Is wallet size the amount of a single transfer?
No. The band describes the balance group used to classify the spending address, while the value plotted is the BTC transferred in profit. It is not a histogram of individual transaction sizes.
Why can profitable transfer volume exceed the coins held by a group?
Volume accumulates throughout the day. Repeated transfers can count the same underlying coins multiple times, whereas holdings are a balance measured at a point in time.
