99% Of Recent Bitcoin Investors Facing Losses Amid Price Dip

Nearly 99% of investors who bought Bitcoin in the past 155 days are currently holding at a loss, as the price dropped to $96,000 following a 12-day slide. The decline, which has seen Bitcoin trade below $100,000, highlights a challenging period for recent buyers.

The price action has been a source of concern, with Bloomberg host Joe Weisenthal noting the 12 consecutive days of declines. Bitcoin’s correlation with the Nasdaq has also contributed to the downward pressure, according to market makers at Wintermute. Despite the price dip, some positive developments emerged, including a cameo appearance of Bitcoin in a New Yorker cartoon, indicating growing cultural recognition.

Institutional interest in Bitcoin remains strong. Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley revealed that a $1 trillion asset management bank requested a briefing on Bitcoin for its advisors. Harvard University has also increased its exposure to spot Bitcoin ETFs, making it the largest position in its portfolio. The UAE’s sovereign wealth fund, Al Warda, has significantly increased its Bitcoin ETF holdings, now valuing its shares at $517 million.

On-chain analyst Checkmate attributes the sell-side pressure to existing Bitcoin holders, explaining that this has been a persistent trend throughout the current cycle. Despite the losses, narrative and visibility remain important factors in the market. As of 2:03 pm UTC on Nov. 15, 2025, Bitcoin’s market capitalization is $1.92 trillion, with a 24-hour trading volume of $80.24 billion. The total crypto market is valued at $3.26 trillion, with Bitcoin dominance at 58.83%.
