About this metric
What it measures
Realized Profit by Wallet Size attributes the USD gain on coins spent above their last-move cost to address-balance groups. Each group sums BTC volume times the positive price difference, from <0.001 BTC to >100K BTC; Total is the combined gross profit.
How to read it
Compare whether gains are spread across 0.1–1 BTC, 1–10 BTC and larger groups or concentrated in a single cohort. The 1K–10K BTC group reached about $9.57 billion on May 28, 2024, whereas 10K–100K BTC peaked near $8.70 billion on July 4, 2025. Such events show why similar headline gains can have very different balance-group sources.
Profit totals scale with holdings, turnover and acquisition cost, so a group's dollar contribution is not a measure of its average return. Large addresses can pool customer funds, and internal wallet moves can create a profit reading without changing the beneficial owner. The breakdown cannot identify which individual holders received proceeds.

FAQ
Can realized-profit concentration identify a single large investor?
No. A balance group can contain many addresses, and an address can hold pooled funds. The chart locates aggregate gains by balance range without naming the owner.
How can a large group have high MVRV but low realized profit?
MVRV covers the unrealized gains on coins still held; realized profit requires those coins to move above cost. A profitable group can remain inactive and contribute little to daily realized gains.
Is the group's USD profit divided by its balance?
No. The chart displays total gains within each group. It is not profit per BTC, return per address or a percentage yield, so comparisons should account for different group sizes.
