Since miners are the net sellers of Bitcoin, the blog first proves that they routinely exert some selling pressure on the market.

Furthermore, whether and when the miners sell during a downturn market affects the strength of the selling pressure.

The "hodl-at-any-cost" treasury strategy of BTC miners represents their propensity to sell the most valuable cryptocurrency during bull markets at the expense of doing so during bad markets.

Although researchers believe that miners' selling pressure during bear markets has a negative impact on the price of Bitcoin, they have yet to confirm this.

Many people in the crypto world believe that miners control a sizable portion of the Bitcoin supply that is currently in circulation.

Popular on-chain data tools like CoinMetrics and Glassnode, according to the article's author Jaran Mellerud, "certainly grossly exaggerate the miners' bitcoin holdings."

Mellerud believes that the blog's estimate of miners' holdings at 30,000 BTC at 25% of bitcoin's hashrate as of December 1 is low compared to the metric platforms.

He gives a midpoint estimate of 470,000 bitcoin, which, when compared to the 19.2 million now in circulation, represents barely 2% of the total.
