About this metric
What it measures
Median UTXO Value Spent sorts the BTC amounts of all outputs consumed each day and takes the middle value. Each spent output has equal weight, so this BTC-denominated measure describes the typical input rather than the typical transaction.
How to read it
A higher median means the middle of the spent-output distribution has shifted toward larger BTC amounts; a lower one means smaller outputs are more prominent. The full-history median of daily readings is 0.0128 BTC, while the October 17, 2026 observation was about 0.000559 BTC, illustrating how far the input mix can shift.
The median is less sensitive to isolated large inputs than the mean, but a wave of small-output spending can move it sharply. Multiple inputs may fund one payment, and self-transfers are included, so this is neither a median purchase size nor a count of small investors.

FAQ
Is median spent output value the same as median transaction value?
No. A Bitcoin transaction can consume several previously unspent outputs. This metric ranks those individual inputs, not the total amount of each transaction or its recipient outputs.
Can the median fall while total spent value rises?
Yes. Many small inputs can push the midpoint down while a few large inputs raise the total. Comparing the mean, median and output count helps distinguish these changes.
Why is the chart expressed in small fractions of BTC?
It measures BTC per spent output, and many outputs contain much less than one bitcoin. One BTC equals 100 million satoshis; about 0.000559 BTC is roughly 55,900 satoshis.
