Entity-Adjusted Median Transfer Volume orders each day's qualifying transfers between entities by BTC amount and takes the middle value. Identified same-owner transfers are excluded, and the result is an amount in BTC, not a daily total or a median across historical days.
An increasing median means the center of the transfer-size distribution is moving upward; a low median indicates that small amounts occupy the middle. The value was about 0.00135 BTC on October 17, 2026, compared with a full-history median of daily readings near 0.01954 BTC. This shows how different recent transfer sizes can look from the long historical baseline.
The middle value can stay small even while a handful of huge transfers dominate total volume. Payment composition, BTC price and clustering changes also shift it, so it is not a measure of typical investor wealth. The 22,500 BTC daily median in November 2009 reflects a very different, sparse transfer environment.
No. It divides the ranked transfer observations into two halves by count. A few transfers above the median can still account for most of the BTC volume.
One BTC is 100 million satoshis, so 0.00135 BTC is 135,000 satoshis. The small decimal describes a transfer amount, not a percentage.
The chart gives the middle qualifying transfer amount for each day. A history median then ranks those daily readings, so it is not the median of every individual transfer across all years.
