Bitcoin reserves on Binance have reached their lowest point since October 2025
Bitcoin reserves on Binance fell to around 619,000 BTC, the lowest level since October 2025, according to CryptoQuant Arab Chain analyst.
Summary
- Binance Bitcoin reserves fell to around 619,000 BTC, their lowest level since October 2025 this week.
- Spot Bitcoin ETFs added 25,600 BTC last week, lifting the holding price near a five-month high.
- Bitcoin remains volatile near $74,800 as exchange outflows and ETF buying reset available market supply.
The downside points to the continued outflow of Bitcoin from the exchange after the reserves rose sharply earlier this year.
In February 2026, Binance’s Bitcoin reserves increased to approximately 670,000 BTC, their highest level since 2024. That increase came during a strong market rally and suggested that many investors were moving coins to the exchange, usually selling or locking in profits as prices rose.
Since the peak in February, reserves have fallen steadily. This change suggests that investors should move away from exchange-traded funds to withdrawals and holdings of exchanges. This type of movement often indicates that owners prefer to keep Bitcoin rather than sell it at current prices.
The drop in reserves occurred while Bitcoin saw sharp price swings. Even with that volatility, few coins remain on Binance. The data points to tighter holdings as traders move goods to cold storage or other long-term storage options.
At the same time, Bitcoin ETFs posted a strong rally last week. The data showed ETF holdings increased from 1.3141 million BTC on Monday to 1.3397 million BTC on Friday. That means the funds have added 25,600 BTC in five trading days.
The recent increase has brought ETF balances closer to levels last seen in November. It also marked one of the strongest weekly additions in recent months. The combined trend of lower Binance reserves and growing ETF balances suggests that Bitcoin supply is moving away from trading and toward long-term investment vehicles.
The price of Bitcoin is constantly fluctuating amid geopolitical pressure
Bitcoin price action remained volatile over the weekend. The stock rose above $78,300 late Friday, its highest level since early February, before returning to the $75,000 to $76,000 range. The setback follows tensions related to the US military’s seizure of an Iranian cargo ship and increased concerns over oil routes in the Strait of Hormuz.
Late Sunday, Bitcoin briefly fell below $74,000 as the market reacted to recent developments between the US and Iran. The two-week suspension that helped the markets close will end on Wednesday.
At press time, Bitcoin traded near $74,800, down slightly over 24 hours but up 5% over the past week.
