of all the Bitcoin in the world
The largest addresses on the network, mostly exchange-scale or lost.
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. Nearly every address this large is an exchange or custodian holding coins for millions of people, or an early wallet whose coins may be lost. Almost none are individuals.
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
This handful of giant addresses is exchange cold storage and a few early-era relics, so the count barely moves and hardly ever means an individual acting. Treat any change here as a prompt to look at exchange news and Big Holder Activity, not as a signal on its own.
Understanding
Addresses Holding 10,000 BTC or More
Where it stands today
89 addresses each hold 10,000 Bitcoin or more as of .
What does this page count?
This page counts only addresses holding at least 10,000 Bitcoin. This is the final balance band, so it has no upper limit. There are only a handful, and the page tracks their address count over time.
Is an address the same as a person?
Almost none of these are individuals. They are mostly exchange and custodian wallets holding the coins of enormous numbers of customers, plus a few early addresses whose coins have not moved in many years and may be lost. A single address here can represent millions of people, or no living owner at all.
What is worth watching?
Because the group is tiny, its count moves rarely, and each change is notable: a new address crossing the line, or a giant balance splitting up. For what the largest wallets are doing with their coins, see Big Holder Activity.
