Table of Contents
The Bitcoin landscape continues to evolve, driven by policy developments, institutional investment, and key market metrics. This week’s “Satsurday” dives into miner statistics, adoption milestones, and insights shaping the market outlook.
Miner Status Overview
1. CEX Deposits
- 368K BTC were deposited to centralized exchanges (CEX), reflecting a slight decrease in inflows.
- Lower deposits are often interpreted as a signal of reduced sell pressure and an inclination toward holding BTC.
2. MVRV Ratio
- The MVRV Ratio rose marginally from 2.56 to 2.57, indicating that Bitcoin remains relatively overvalued compared to historical norms.
- An increasing MVRV ratio often suggests caution for short-term investors as profits are high, potentially increasing selling incentives.
3. Puell Ratio
- The Puell Ratio dropped from 1.24 to 1.19, signaling reduced miner profitability.
- Lower Puell values suggest that miners face tighter margins, which could lead to sell-offs to cover operational costs.
News | Regulations | Adoption
- Texas Bitcoin Reserve Bill:
Giovanni Capriglione introduced legislation for Texas to build a Bitcoin reserve, signaling growing state-level adoption of BTC as a strategic asset. - Australian Pension Fund Moves In:

Japanese MP Satoshi Hamada proposed creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve, further strengthening the narrative for sovereign adoption. - Bitcoin ETF Inflows Surge:

Insights & Market Trends

- Exchange Inflows Decline: Deposits to exchanges fell from 386K to 368K BTC, indicating less immediate selling pressure and more buy-side strength.
- MVRV Increase: A minor uptick in MVRV indicates potential overvaluation, which could trigger profit-taking among traders.
- Puell Ratio Decline: Decreasing miner profitability, as reflected by the Puell Multiple, raises concerns over potential miner capitulation if prices stagnate further.
Conclusion
The combination of regulatory advancements, institutional interest, and on-chain metrics presents a mixed but cautiously optimistic outlook for Bitcoin. While profitability pressures challenge miners, ETF inflows and strategic proposals reinforce Bitcoin’s growing role in global finance.
