For investors and traders, understanding where the majority of these addresses stand in terms of profitability can be crucial. Using data from IXFI&#8217;s Coin Info Center, we\u2019ll explore the current state of Bitcoin addresses, focusing on how many are in profit and what prices they were purchased at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Profitability of Bitcoin addresses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the first dataset, currently, 80.70% of Bitcoin addresses are in profit, representing 43.06 million addresses. These addresses are classified as <em>In the Money<\/em>, meaning the current price of Bitcoin ($59,409.34) is higher than the price at which these addresses acquired their BTC. Meanwhile, 15.90% of addresses (8.49 million) are <em>Out of the Money<\/em>, or at a loss, with Bitcoin&#8217;s current price below their purchase price. The remaining 3.40% (1.81 million addresses) are breaking even.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"382\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/info1-1024x382.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4856\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/info1-1024x382.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/info1-300x112.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/info1-768x286.png 768w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/info1-24x9.png 24w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/info1-36x13.png 36w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/info1-48x18.png 48w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/info1.png 1196w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Purchase prices and address distribution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second dataset dives into the specific prices at which Bitcoin was purchased across different addresses. A significant portion of addresses acquired BTC at prices ranging from $9,204.10 to $17,396.17 and are now well <em>In the Money<\/em> given the current price. Interestingly, 42.92 million addresses are in profit, which again represents 80.44% of total addresses holding BTC. Another 15.65% of addresses are at a loss, while 3.91% are breaking even.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"406\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/info2-1024x406.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4859\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/info2-1024x406.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/info2-300x119.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/info2-768x304.png 768w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/info2-24x10.png 24w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/info2-36x14.png 36w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/info2-48x19.png 48w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/info2.png 1188w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion and recommendations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These insights highlight the importance of tracking the profitability and purchase prices of Bitcoin addresses, especially for those making investment decisions.
