BTC: Adjusted LTH MVRV Exits Shallow Stress, Back in Profit

In the April update, adjusted 6M–10Y LTH MVRV — a measure of aggregate profitability for the 6M–10Y holder cohort — was compressing above 1.0. A reading of 1.0 marks the cohort’s aggregate break-even level: above it, the cohort is in unrealized profit; below it, in unrealized loss. That test arrived. Between June and August, the metric fell below 1.0 on five occasions, reaching its 2026 low of roughly 0.94 on June 30 — around 6% below break-even. At that point, BTC traded near $58.5K versus the cohort’s realized-price benchmark of roughly $62K. The stress was real but limited in both depth and duration. The metric remained close to 1.0 rather than entering the deeper and more persistent underwater conditions seen during the 2019 and 2022–23 loss phases. By September 27, adjusted LTH MVRV had recovered to roughly 1.35. BTC traded near $84.5K against a cohort realized price of around $62.7K, placing spot approximately 35% above that basis. Key takeaway: The 6M–10Y cohort has moved out of shallow sub-1.0 stress and back into aggregate profit. This is a constructive reset for this holder group, not a deep or persistent loss phase.
