Bitcoin has seen higher revived supplies in the past months. Notably, it saw revived supplies of 110,000 BTC and 95,000 BTC in November 2022, representing sales of $2 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively. Bitcoin also saw a revived supply of 100,000 BTC in June 2022, representing sales of approximately $2.4 billion.

Bitcoin currently has a higher market value than it had in those months, meaning that its latest revived supply (50,000 BTC) is worth more than $1 billion. It is, therefore, close to past revived amounts in terms of dollar value.
