As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial market, I must admit that the rapid growth and expansion of Bitcoin millionaires and billionaires has left me both intrigued and astounded. The sheer speed at which this digital asset has penetrated the global financial landscape is truly remarkable.
According to the “Crypto Wealth Report” by Henley & Partners for 2024, Bitcoin‘s escalating worth and investor appeal is evident as it has generated approximately 85,400 millionaires. This report further reveals that globally, there are now around 173,200 individuals who have amassed their wealth through cryptocurrencies, marking a 95% surge in the past year. Notably, out of this number, about 85,400 are Bitcoin millionaires, representing a significant increase of 111% compared to the previous year.
The report also points out that presently there are 28 crypto billionaires globally, of which 11 are Bitcoin traders. This includes the addition of six billionaires in the previous year, five of which invested in Bitcoin, making Bitcoin the primary driver of large investments. The market capitalization, or the total value of cryptocurrencies has increased by 89% to $2.3 trillion from $1.2 as per the data revealed in the previous year.
Changpeng Zhao Remains Richest Crypto Billionaire, Wealth Surges to $33 Billion
This year, the rankings in the crypto world have remained mostly consistent, with Changpeng Zhao of Binance continuing to hold the title as the wealthiest crypto billionaire. Despite legal battles ongoing in the U.S., his net worth has skyrocketed from over $10.5 billion to a staggering $33 billion. Another notable figure in the Bitcoin scene is Michael Saylor, Chairman of MicroStrategy, who currently holds 226,500 Bitcoins. Since 2020, Saylor has been a dedicated Bitcoin owner and his personal fortune tied to Bitcoin exceeds $1 billion.
The rise in Bitcoin wealth can be attributed to the arrival of crypto Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), which have enticed institutional investors into the market. In March, Bitcoin peaked at over $73,000 as a result of the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs. Today, it’s common knowledge that major financial institutions like Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are actively investing in Bitcoin ETFs.
Moreover, the use of Bitcoin is increasingly becoming commonplace in regions with favorable cryptocurrency regulations. Notably, its adoption is on the rise among businesses and financial entities in Singapore, and there’s a growing trend towards incorporating it into traditional financial structures.
