Bitcoin short-term holders (STHs) spent 229 out of 345 days in profit this year, despite BTC struggling below $100,000 and showing a negative year-to-date return. Onchain data reveals that STH profitability is less about overall price direction and more about how often BTC reclaimed its realized price. With a realized price at $81,000 acting as a psychological pivot, short-term investors have weathered waves of losses and recovery, finishing 2025 with roughly 66% of days profitable.
