Figures as of 30 August 2026 · sources at the foot of the page
Past ten coins, the crowd thins to a town.
| Measure | Number |
|---|---|
| Addresses holding 10+ BTC | 149,657 (top 0.25% of funded addresses) |
| Approximate value at recent prices | around $780,000 |
| Versus dollar millionaires | the club is ~380x smaller than the 57.5M millionaire club |
| Share of all bitcoin held by 10+ BTC addresses | over 83% of supply |
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.
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.
