The number of addresses that hold between 1,000 and 10,000 Bitcoin, over the years.

Very large holders, mostly companies and exchanges.
But addresses aren't people.
An address is a slot on the blockchain, not a person or a wallet. One person can control thousands of addresses; 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.

Understanding Addresses With a Balance Between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC
This page counts the addresses holding between 1,000 and 10,000 Bitcoin: some of the largest balances on the network, worth hundreds of millions of dollars each. This tracks the count over time.
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.
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.
