Individual and Unidentified Holders Accumulate Over 107,000 BTC in Third Quarter

Individual Bitcoin holders and unidentified wallets accumulated more than 107,000 BTC during the third quarter through September 18, 2026, according to ownership data from River Financial. The rebound marks a shift toward non-institutional accumulation after retail investors sold roughly 140,000 BTC across the first two quarters of 2026, including 78,000 BTC offloaded in the second quarter. The resurgence was supported by dolphin wallets holding 100 to 1,000 BTC, which added over 113,000 BTC valued above $9 billion since mid-July, while Bitcoin traded in the mid-$80,000s.
