Where the coins actually are

Here is the striking inversion: addresses with 10 or more BTC are a quarter of one percent of the address count, yet they hold more than four-fifths of all bitcoin. Some of that is genuine private wealth; a large share is exchanges and custodians pooling everyone else's coins - the rich list caveats apply at full strength in this band.

The individual question

For a private holder, double digits is close to the practical ceiling reachable from ordinary income at modern prices - beyond it, holdings mostly trace back to early adoption, business success or inheritance of one of the two. It is also the band where custody stops being a preference and becomes a discipline.

The honest caveatAll distribution figures count addresses, not people. One person can control many addresses, and one exchange cold wallet can pool coins belonging to millions of customers - the single largest bitcoin address is an exchange wallet holding 248,598 BTC. Address percentiles are the most precise public measure that exists, but treat them as a well-lit approximation of human wealth, not a census.
