Figures as of 30 August 2026 · sources at the foot of the page
Every holder of a hundred coins on earth would fit in one football ground, with seats to spare.
| Measure | Number |
|---|---|
| Addresses holding 100+ BTC | 20,094 (top 0.034% of funded addresses) |
| Share of supply held | over 60% |
| Addresses with 1,000+ BTC | 2,003 |
| Addresses with 10,000+ BTC | 89 |
This is the band the word "whale" was coined for, and also the band where the address-versus-person distortion peaks: the deeper you go, the more of the addresses belong to exchanges, ETF custodians and corporate treasuries rather than individuals with cold storage and a boat. The four largest addresses alone hold 3.65% of all bitcoin, and the biggest is a known exchange wallet - detail on who owns the most bitcoin.
If the club feels unreachable, that is because it is - and that is the point of the whole site. Scarcity means the interesting question was never "how do I get 100 BTC" but "how little bitcoin is actually a lot?" The answer is: far less than this.
