💰 How Many People Actually Own Bitcoin? Spoiler: Not as Many as You Think
Bitcoin is everywhere… in memes, in headlines, in your friend’s bragging posts. But here’s the kicker: only about 1% of the world actually owns it. Let’s break down the numbers in a fun, slightly sarcastic way. 🤑
1️⃣ Total Bitcoin Holders
As of the end of 2024: 106 million people have ever owned or currently own Bitcoin. 🌍
Not exactly a global takeover… yet.
2️⃣ Individual Investors vs Big Wallets
Out of 172 million active wallets, 50 million belong to individual investors. 🐋
The rest? Whales or exchanges hoarding for fun.
3️⃣ Serious HODLers
Wallets holding ≥1 BTC: 900,000 wallets. 🏆
These are the true HODLers.
4️⃣ Bitcoin Wealth Distribution
A tiny 1.86% of wallets control 90% of all Bitcoin. 💎
Basically a digital 1% with more cryptography.
5️⃣ Biggest Bitcoin Holder
Forget Elon Musk or Binance—Satoshi Nakamoto is still king. 🕵️♂️
6️⃣ Satoshi’s Stash
Estimated 750,000–1.1 million BTC. 💸
Enough to retire everyone… several times over.
7️⃣ Bitcoins Mined
By mid-2025: 19.8 million BTC mined. ⛏️
Only a little over 1 million left before hitting 21 million.
8️⃣ Binance’s Largest Wallet
Largest Binance wallet: ~500,000 BTC. 😳
9️⃣ Wallets With 100k–1M BTC
Only 4 wallets hold 100,000–1 million BTC. 🏦
Exclusive club vibes.
🔟 Actual People With ≥1 BTC
Estimated 800,000–850,000 people. 🎯
Not a huge crowd, but enough to make Bitcoin a sensation.
Bitcoin seems everywhere, but only 1% of humans own it.
