According to BlockBeats, despite the impending Bitcoin halving, the top five Bitcoin mining companies have not sold their Bitcoin. A report by Bitwise on April 10 revealed that the total number of Bitcoins sold by the top five mining companies in the first quarter of 2024 dropped to about 2000, reaching a two-year low. Currently, Bitcoin miners worldwide hold over 700,000 Bitcoins, accounting for 3.4% of the total Bitcoin supply.

The last time the top five mining companies sold less than 2000 Bitcoins was in the first quarter of 2022.
