Analyst: Bitcoin short-term holders' unrealized profit approaches 15%, some investors may choose to take profits

PANews reported on August 30 that CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated that during this round of Bitcoin’s rise to $80,000, short-term holders’ (STH) average unrealized profit margin approached 15%. The currently estimated cost basis is around $70,100, and the profit level has reached its highest since July 2025. This range is often accompanied by significant profit growth, while also making short-term holders’ sentiment more unstable, and some investors may choose to take profits. Therefore, it is not surprising that Bitcoin has temporarily stalled near $80,000.
