Binance currently holds around 619,000 Bitcoin, the lowest amount since October 2025, according to data from CryptoQuant analyst Arab Chain.

Summary

  • Binance Bitcoin reserves dropped to about 619,000 BTC, their lowest level since October 2025 this week.
  • Spot Bitcoin ETFs added 25,600 BTC last week, lifting total holdings near five-month highs.
  • Bitcoin stayed volatile near $74,800 as exchange outflows and ETF buying reshaped available market supply.

The decrease suggests that Bitcoin is still leaving the exchange, following a large increase in its holdings earlier in the year.

As an analyst, I’ve been tracking Binance’s Bitcoin holdings, and in February 2026, they hit a high of almost 670,000 BTC – the most we’ve seen since 2024. This jump coincided with a significant market uptrend, which typically means more investors are depositing their Bitcoin onto exchanges, likely to take profits or secure gains while prices are rising.

Investor behavior shifts toward holding

Bitcoin reserves have been gradually decreasing since February. This indicates investors are moving their Bitcoin out of exchanges – either by withdrawing it or storing it in alternative locations. This behavior generally suggests that Bitcoin holders prefer to hold onto their coins rather than sell them at the current market price.

Bitcoin’s price has been fluctuating quite a bit recently, but at the same time, the number of coins held on Binance is decreasing. This suggests that traders are becoming more likely to hold onto their Bitcoin for the long term, either by storing it offline or using other secure, long-term storage methods.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw significant growth last week. Holdings increased from 1.3141 million BTC on Monday to 1.3397 million BTC by Friday, representing an addition of 25,600 BTC over the five trading days.

Bitcoin ETF holdings have recently climbed to levels not seen since November, representing one of the biggest weekly increases in months. This, combined with decreasing Bitcoin holdings on Binance, indicates that Bitcoin is shifting from being held on exchanges to being invested for the long term.

Bitcoin price stays volatile amid geopolitical pressure

Bitcoin’s price fluctuated over the weekend. It briefly peaked above $78,300 on Friday – a level it hadn’t seen since early February – but then dropped back down to between $75,000 and $76,000. This decline happened alongside increased global tensions, specifically the US military’s interception of an Iranian cargo ship and worries about shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz.

As an analyst, I’ve been watching the market closely, and we saw a quick dip in Bitcoin late Sunday, briefly falling below $74,000. This move seems to be a reaction to escalating tensions between the US and Iran, particularly with the current two-week ceasefire set to expire on Wednesday. The market is clearly sensitive to these geopolitical developments.

As of today, Bitcoin is trading around $74,800. While it’s down a little over the last 24 hours, it’s still showing a 5% increase over the past week, according to my observations.
