Crypto Wealth Holds Up In 2026 – Study

Henley & Partners, an international residence and citizenship advisory specialist, has released its Crypto Wealth Report 2026 showing that crypto wealth is holding up in 2026 while bitcoin is retreating from its record levels.

According to a new report by London-headquartered Henley & Partners, there are now 135,694 crypto millionaires worldwide, each holding $1 million or more in digital assets and 92,272 are bitcoin millionaires.

The Crypto Wealth Report 2026 also says that the global crypto market is now worth $2.6 trillion, of which $1.6 trillion is in bitcoin. Bitcoin currently trades at about 38 per cent below its October 2025 peak, recovering from its mid-year slump when it fell under 50 per cent, and this has been the mildest of its major winters: the declines that followed the 2011, 2013, 2017, and 2021 peaks each cut its price by more than 75 per cent.

Further up the crypto wealth pyramid there are 290 centi-millionaires holding $100 million or more (151 in bitcoin alone) while at the apex there are 23 crypto billionaires, nine of which hold it in bitcoin. Some 742 million individuals now hold digital assets in some amount, 371 million of them holding bitcoin, showing that ownership continued to broaden even as the market contracted.
