Not a headcount
An address is a slot on the blockchain, not a person or a wallet. One person can control thousands of addresses, and a single exchange holds millions of customers’ coins in just a few. Coins that are lost forever still count here too.
So read this as a count of addresses, never a headcount of people. At this size a single address is usually an exchange or fund holding coins for many thousands of customers, not one owner. Read the count with that firmly in mind.
What it is doing
The second chart follows this group rather than counting it: what its coins last cost, whether the price sits above or below that, the dollars it locked in or gave up as coins moved, and how much Bitcoin it sent each day.
Those four readings come from a record of every size group, so the days they cover can differ from the count above.
What it means
At a thousand coins and up, a single address usually stands for thousands of customers, so a change here is more about how the big custodians arrange their storage than about anyone’s opinion of the price. The useful habit is watching for breaks from the slow norm, then letting Big Holder Activity explain them.

Addresses With a Balance Between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC
Where it stands today
1,919 addresses each hold between 1,000 and 10,000 Bitcoin as of .
What does this page count?
This page counts only addresses holding at least 1,000 Bitcoin but less than 10,000 Bitcoin. Balances below 1,000 or at least 10,000 Bitcoin are not included. These are among the largest balances on the network, and the page tracks their address count over time.
Is an address the same as a person?
At this size an address almost never means one person. Exchanges, funds, and custodians dominate the tier, each address often holding the coins of many customers. Treat this as a count of addresses, not of large individual owners, and expect it to sit well above the true number of people involved.
What is worth watching?
The direction is still informative. A rising count means coin is pooling into very large addresses; a falling one means those pools are splitting or moving. For how these large wallets behave day to day, see Big Holder Activity.
