23 May Got 10 BTC? You’re Now in the Top 0.5% of 30 Million Bitcoin Addresses
Bitcoin (BTC) wallets with a positive address have crossed 30 million for the first time — but less than 1% contain even 10 BTC.
According to the latest data from monitoring resource Bitinfocharts, a wallet balance of 10 BTC — or around $91,000 at today’s prices — is enough to place the holder in the top 0.51% of addresses.
97.3% of Bitcoin wallets hold under 1 BTC
Balances of 10-100 BTC make up 0.45% of the total, while even wallets between 1-10 BTC contribute just 2.17%.
While it should be assumed that individuals’ holdings are often spread between multiple wallets, the figures imply that at current prices, $91,000 is sufficient to place the holder well within the minority of large BTC holders.
Wallets with much larger balances — exchanges and a small number of Bitcoin whales — also sway the statistics. There are now just over 30.4 million addresses with a balance, up from around 25 million at the same point in 2019.
