Experts Counted World’s Crypto Millionaires and Billionaires: How Many of Them Hold Bitcoin

• The world has 135,694 crypto millionaires and 23 crypto billionaires.
• More than 92,000 are bitcoin millionaires.
• Singapore topped the ranking of 36 jurisdictions.

In 2026, the world counts 135,694 crypto millionaires — people who hold digital assets worth at least $1 million — according to the report Crypto Wealth Report 2026 by Henley & Partners. As of August 31, the total crypto market capitalization stood at $2.6 trillion, of which $1.6 trillion was in bitcoin. 

Despite the fact that the first cryptocurrency is trading about 38% below its October 2025 all-time high, the number of holders with significant crypto wealth continues to grow.

Crypto Millionaires Hold on to Wealth Despite Market Downturn

Of the total number of crypto millionaires, 92,272 are bitcoin millionaires. Another 290 people hold digital assets worth more than $100 million, including 151 whose wealth is specifically in bitcoin. The number of crypto billionaires stands at 23, nine of whom achieved this status thanks to the asset.

At the same time, digital assets continue to spread to a broader audience: around 742 million people hold them in one form or another, including 371 million bitcoin holders. 

According to the report, the current drawdown remains far smaller than previous major crypto winters: after the peaks of 2011, 2013, 2017, and 2021, the first cryptocurrency lost more than 75% of its value.
