The largest addresses on the network, mostly exchange-scale or lost.
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.
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.

Understanding Addresses Holding 10,000 BTC or More
This page counts the very largest addresses on the network: those holding 10,000 Bitcoin or more, each worth well over a billion dollars. There are only a handful, and this tracks how many exist over time.
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.
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.
