Currently, a total of about 19.7 million bitcoins have been mined, of which 4 million are believed to be permanently lost, so the current actual circulation is about 15.7 million.
1. The on-chain address holds more than 1 Bitcoin:
According to Glassnode data, the number of such addresses reached 848,082 in June 2022. Assuming that the current number is about 1 million, consider a 15% error.
2. The exchange holds more than 1 Bitcoin:
According to the “Law of Wealth”, exchanges hold a total of about 1.72 million BTC, of which retail investors hold 20% (about 344,000) and large investors hold 80% (about 1.376 million). Assuming that the number of retail investors is four times that of large investors, the number of people holding more than 1 BTC on exchanges is about 430,000.
In summary, the number of people who hold more than one Bitcoin in the world is about 1 million, accounting for 0.23% of the global cryptocurrency users (420 million). Based on the global population, this proportion is only 0.013%, that is, only two people out of every 10,000 people own one Bitcoin.
Future Outlook:
If you hold 1 Bitcoin, you are already among the elite group of "two in a million". Even if you only hold 0.1 Bitcoin, you may still be "one in a thousand" in 10 years. If you buy Bitcoin with $10,000 now, you are expected to reach the middle-class living standard in the next 10 years, because $BTC is redefining the distribution of social wealth.
