According to Odaily, data released by analyst MorenoDV show that, as of October 15, the new whale cohort held approximately $78.61 billion in realized capitalization, accounting for 33.06% of whales’ total realized capitalization; old whales held approximately $159.15 billion. This share has risen from around 18% at the start of 2026. The report notes that this change reflects a shift in the distribution of realized capitalization, and does not equate to a change in the share of Bitcoin supply. The data show that new whales’ realized capitalization has trended upward since September, while old whales’ realized capitalization has remained broadly stable. The new whales’ aggregate cost basis previously fell from near its peak of around $110,000 to approximately $68,000 at the end of August, and has now recovered to around $77,000. Market participants should independently monitor subsequent developments and related factors such as trading volume and liquidity.
