here.
What is BTC Accumulation?We all know the meaning of accumulation but in terms of market cycles, it’s a phase. This phase starts when market comes to its worse stage or bottom line at this point, Public and Private Corporations starts to buy huge amount of BTC for long term. There are three more phases other than accumulation phase but i will share their articles later.
How much BTC has been accumulated by Corporations?
In 2021, According to NASDAQ, total accumulation of BTC was the 8% of the total BTC supply which is equal 1,660,473 BTC. But in 2022, According to
Coindesk, total accumulation of BTC is 60% of the total BTC supply which is equal to 12.92 million bitcoin.
When we should accumulate Bitcoin?The price of BTC is $21,647 while writing this article and we all aware of the ATH (All the High). Many of us are fully sure that BTC will cross its ATH and there is no doubt in it, that’s what BTC was doing from the start.
We should started to accumulate BTC when BTC is in bear market after touching the ATH. Now is the Bear market and according to the amount of accumulation wrote above, Corporations had already filled their bags when BTC goes below $18,000.
We should use tools like Glass node to keep track of demand and supply, because when seller pressure increases, the bear market comes with great buying opportunities.
SourceTips to keep in mind before accumulation:1: Use Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) Technique:In this technique, we do not accumulate BTC in one trade. We divide the trades in to many parts. For example, if you are buying 10 BTC, Then divide them in 10 transaction. Like set buy order for 1 BTC at required price and place another buy order of 1 BTC at lower price than required price for better profit.
Because we don’t know the nature of market. Sometimes market goes in unexpected ways. So from preventing huge losses, we should work smart.
2: Use indicator to analyze market to take better entry:The most famous and common tools to take entry is RSI (Relative Strength Index) which has two main components:
Overbought: When the indicator line moves above the channel then it is considered as overbought which means the asset has been overvalued and there is more chances of its price to decrease.
Oversold: When the opposite happens of above action than the assets is considered as oversold which means there are more chances of asset’s price to increase.
There is no doubt that indicator’s result will help you in making great entries either. But it increases the chances only instead of taking entry blindly. You can use a RSI tools for BTC only which will send notification on your twitter handle. Get this Tool from

3: Do not freak out: One of the biggest benefit of long term investment is you don’t have to check market again and again. Thus you will face no tension. But to do that you have to build patience in yourself. Which you can do by not becoming a prey of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out).
4: Prevent from News Cycle:As mentioned before, we don’t have to observe market again and again to book profits here. Because we are playing the long term game here like for 3 to 6 years some people holds more than that.
The news platforms will try to share every crypto related news which will make you sick. No doubt that, short term investors are greatly affected by news cycles and get into FOMO and lost their money. But here you know the big picture of BTC potential as how it touches around $68,789.63.

Precautions to take before withdrawing huge amount of BTC:There are numerous precautions, a holder could take, but depends upon from which danger.
Danger of losing BTC, danger of getting taxed by IRS, danger of too much exposure and publicity that you do not want.
I will try to cover two of the above danger to avoid.
1: Danger of Losing BTC:Talking about withdrawing BTC, to do that first we have to transfer it to an exchange, if your BTC is already in a wallet which comes with built-in exchanges than its more secure. Because in first scenario, you have to transfer from hot wallet to exchange wallet. Which will expose you twice.
While sending BTC from one wallet to exchange wallet, double check the address and do not send all the BTC in one go.
If you are using hot wallets on smartphone or pc, try to strictly avoid from download any third party and unverified app or unlocked APK MOD, because these APKs contains malicious viruses which could get all the info of your wallets.
2: Danger of getting heavily taxed by IRS:In my country there is no huge taxes on withdrawing money, I prefer try to withdraw money in parts not in one go because in Pakistan there are many limitation of withdrawing money and in many other developing countries too.
But this danger is for the people of developed countries. Like USA, China, Japan, Russia etc. maybe I left some countries but let’s move on.
I am not a tax expert so I will just share some useful article’s and thread’s links to avoid heavy taxation.
