Bitcoin Miners Sell Pressure Hits 7-Year High: A Crypto Market Crossroads?

Are Bitcoin miners driving the current market downturn? Recent data suggests a significant surge in selling pressure from mining operations, raising concerns about the sustainability of the Bitcoin network and its price stability.

Aggressive Bitcoin Miner Liquidations Fuel Market Concerns

The Bitcoin mining landscape is facing unprecedented challenges. Publicly traded Bitcoin mining companies sold 115% of their April production, marking the most aggressive monthly liquidation since late 2025. This intensified the existing downward pressure on BTC prices. This level of aggressive selling hasn't been seen in years, prompting analysts to closely monitor the situation.

Analyst Charles Edwards, founder of Capriole Investments quantitative fund and author of many insightful crypto economics models, reveals that Bitcoin (BTC) miners have not been selling so aggressively in almost 7 years now. Up 400% in just 3 weeks! Edwards' analysis highlights the severity of the current situation, emphasizing the rapid increase in miner sell-offs.

Bitcoin Price Under Pressure: Miners at a Breaking Point?

“If price doesn’t go up soon, we are going to see a lot of Bitcoin miners out of business,” warns a market observer. The pressure on Bitcoin miners has never been greater than today, when BTC values reached a new bear cycle low. With BTC prices hitting a new bear cycle low on Nov. 22, the pressure on Bitcoin miners has never been greater. On Nov. 21, Capriole Fund founder Charles Edwards noted the alarming trend.

What does this mean for the future of Bitcoin? The increased selling pressure from miners could exacerbate the current bear market, potentially leading to further price declines. Investors should closely monitor miner activity and its impact on market sentiment as the situation unfolds.
