who are those rich who are investing in bitcoin ?

bill gates?  and who of them use it ?

Bitcoin addressee are used for making transactions, the addresses can be tracked but it can not be linked to he owners if the owners are making use of bitcoin as a privacy coin without making use of custodial and kyc means for dealing with bitcoin. People like to be private when dealing with bitcoin, so you can not link many bitcoin address to their owner as they are pseudonymous.

But recently, there are many institutions that are buying bitcoin, institutions like grayscale and PayPal.

Institutions are not persons im asking whos personally does it?

Central bankers that still en$lave you, Rothschild`s.

I Don't mean group of peoole rotchsilds I mean persons who are wealthy and own and trade with Bitcoin personally?

How about Elon? He is super rich.

He may have lots of Doge but why would he just have doge with him when he can also have BTC. He even admits he has BTC on his tweet like 0.25BTC I think.
It could be true that he just has that amount or maybe not true but that's proof he has BTC. 

Ok... Mhhh...  Any others??

Rich elites who invest in bitcoin would keep it anonymous for profitable reasons until bitcoin is mainstream.
Currently major investors are either whales or institutions such as Grayscale, Square and Microstrategy.

Check out this site for all institutional investments:

But there are billionaires that openly stated that they invested in bitcoin like Druckenmiller.

And also in the list are the following people listed on this article. I bet, Musk has more 0.25 btc right now, which he said last May, it was the only btc he had.

None of them use bitcoin. Who among us really use bitcoin? Very few. The market - literally the people on this forum and many others around the world - have decided that bitcoin is not a currency, it's an investment asset. That's the only reason the price rises, because demand goes up but supply remains relatively low (except for the block awards, etc.)


And many of the rich elite who are buying into bitcoin now aren't doing so anonymously, they're doing so through funds like the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust. They're doing so through investment in private wealth management advisors. They aren't buying direct, i promise you. They don't care about the fundamentals of what bitcoin is...they care that it can make them money.

Actually...who your are referring to are the old rich. The new rich elite are people who were buying bitcoin in 2012. And those people will be spending bitcoin, particularly to fund new projects that will push innovation forward on all fronts...and to buy the obligatory Lambo.

I don't think Bill Gates invested to Bitcoin but according to the article that I read he has some on his possession but he didn't buy it but it was given to him as a gift. I think Billionaires are not interested to something that is really volatile they are much into stock trading.

 The people ,bankers,media puppets who told you not to buy bitcoin at 50 usd in 2012, but they advice to buy at those levels..

 The ones who says bitcoin is for rich people for making large transactions, not for the poor,unbanked people who cant afford to pay a 12 usd fee for a bitcoin transaction.


 And those maxi nazis they just hodl and shit every tech development to preserve their early mined bitcoin.

It seems that prominent figures are all over the place, however, quite often, it is a figure from the investment world or crypto development.
Like in the article here: https://coincheckup.com/blog/macro-investor-dan-tapiero-btc-could-reach-as-high-as-500000/

Still, big companies like JPMC, paypal and many more have started onboarding the BTC train, which is bringing the word to news and such and sparking conversation. That alone can often mean popularity and media coverage...

I really believe there is a lot of rich people who are invested to the bitcoin and most of them become more rich or they got a lot of profits.

Some of them are for sure hidden investing without knowing to the public because bitcoin is anonymous so they can invest without tracing.

I do not know if bill gates invest to the bitcoin but hoping many billionaires will invest so the value will rise more because they have big impact once billionaire invest to the bitcoin.

It is all about their forte, they are already billionaires so they are only becoming interested on things that they have knowledge and they can handle. Do not be deceived because stock trading is also volatile like crypto, billionaires are just making investment in their specific fields. For example, warren buffet, he is more likely to stock and holding companies because it is his forte. Donald Trump is more likely into real estate because it is his forte and I do not know if he is interested to bitcoin. Elon Musk and Mark are most likely interested in tech companies and I do not also have idea if they are making investment in bitcoin. The rich elite people usually are not talkative wherein they do not say to the public that they are investing in bitcoins or in other cryptocurrencies. In terms of multi-millionaire, Robert Kiyosaki is one of the people who are making investment in bitcoin and he usually promotes it via twitter.

Would it be a big deal for anyone? I believe that if there are people with multiple followers, they will follow, but do you think it's a wise idea for them? It's not so much-publicized, but I Google searched famous people who back cryptocurrencies and quite surprised by the few listed names.

Maybe you could check it out, and please explain why you want to know as well.

No, in my opinion Bill Gates does not invest in Bitcoin but you can search the web for those people or companies who invest in Bitcoin.

The real rich elite, the masters are are always in the shadow, they don't want curious peasants to know that they invested in bitcoin. Sometimes it becomes known, here is another example that rich families like Guggenheim plan to invest almost $500M in bitcoin. https://www.coindesk.com/guggenheim-fund-files-to-be-able-to-invest-up-to-almost-500m-in-bitcoin-through-gbtc
And there are many of them.

robert kiyosaki buys bitcoin

he owns like 8000 properties in the US

No one can answer you directly since they will never share their address even they invested in it they prefer to be anonymous investors.

But I found a list of crypto supporters maybe this one is what you are looking.

Here is another one https://www.cheatsheet.com/money-career/powerful-people-love-or-hate-bitcoin.html/

Is it necessary to find real identity of those elites? It is pointless. Just look at a chart and see that bitcoin is being concerned by many people, from the poor to the rich. They all see bitcoin as a gateway to heaven with lots of advantages and profit

- companies
- rich people
- people who purchased Bitcoins when the value was super low
- business firms
- wallets which doesn't give people the private key thus they own all those coins
- people like Mr. Satoshi who were involved in the invention
- early adopters
- governments , since they usually seize btc from scammers and can have a lot of them or some countries where the btc is banned and thus the government takes control of everyone's coins like how they seized the illegal mining farms in china.

There can be a lot of people .... Who knows ??

Who are the Bitcoin holders today?  I would single out the following groups of holders:

1) Old bitcoin holders.  These are the people who mined Bitcoin from 2010 to 2016. 

2) Cryptocurrency exchanges.  They make big money on commissions.  They have the ability to accumulate Bitcoins. 

3) Developers of top alts.  Vitaly Buterin (ethereum), Den Larimer (block.one, EOS), Roger Ver (bitcoin cash) and others. 

4) Large companies (PayPal and others)

5) Investment funds

6) Countries.  Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, China (?) And others.

If you are talking about bitcoin addresses that accumulated the coins when mining was not a big deal then it is true, but now if you are spending huge amount of money then you need to verify your documents and there will be a procedure to invest huge amounts and all of those investment comes through banking transaction and hence everything is transparent.

We can't really know who they are. Even if they go public about it we can't believe their word 100%. We can be sure that the Guggenheim investors are extremely high net-worth individuals.
Raoul Pal is an extremely bullish investor (at least he seems to be in the public space).  Also Robert Kiyosaki is shilling Bitcoin all over the place. He now has 3 asset recommendations: bitcoin, gold and silver which is cool because a lot of people follow him and his teachings.

He dont promote this things for free or just that he so good person!!
I dont take those People seriously ;!!
Anyone should t

Do you really want to know the wealthiest elite who invest in Bitcoin, which has been published in this forum.

If you ask questions in this forum, not outside the forum, I can show you the wealthiest elite people who invest in Bitcoin.
You can see the topics below.

Topic: Where the top world Elite Rich guys invest (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5280895.0)

Topic: I am pretty confident we are the new wealthy elite, gentlemen. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=12156.0)

If outside the forum, the richest elite who invest in Bitcoin, many can be obtained such as Twitter, Facebook, and Google.

In this interview as far as I can recall Micheal Saylor of Microstrategy said that he personally invested in BTC. He basically mean ha has Bitcoin in his personal wallet not just for Microstrategy but also he has in his wallet himself.

It actually make sense to invest in BTC for his own as well. He risked his company into BTC and goes all in including his personal money to invest in BTC. I'm not sure if you could consider Micheal Saylor as elite but he definitely is rich.

 Why you need to know those person? I think it's difficult to identify those rich person who are investing in bitcoin if they choose to hide their identity. What if they didn't really invest too much in bitcoin but they open publicly and said that they invest million or billion $ in bitcoin, do you believe them? Also tracing a wallet address that contain a big amount of bitcoin is not enough to know if who is the holder if they put their identity in private when dealing with bitcoin.

No one can tell exactly about big or rich people that use bitcoin but its quite understanding that bitcoin majority of prominent people in society actually using it, as business man or woman that know what is obtainable concerning business, I think its advisable to adopt cryptocurrency especially bitcoin and adventure into its investment or transactions for multiplication or avoiding of disvalue of currency in business, it obvious that billionaires don't feel reluctant in terms of investment, shall no one can tell how many of them are into  crypto network but is nice to invest in crypto.

My old belief was: the rich elite who invested in Bitcoin actually don't even own it. This is from the corporate types I know who've got big pensions waiting for them even 20 years away from retirement.

The "Bitcoin" they own resides in some custodial service that probably doesn't even have on-chain wallets. Think of Paypal right now.

But I'll admit. I now know a handful who've actually gone and bought it proper. Not directly P2P god forbid, but through brokers and OTC.

But actually using Bitcoin? Hell if they do.

How often do we ask ourselves this question? But many also understand that although information about the addresses may be open, no one knows the real owners. Didn't we want from bitcoin itself? Perhaps everyone should know the first owner. The mysterious creator of Bitcoin is simply by definition supposed to own a huge amount.

I don't think Bitcoin is owned by one particular person. Bitcoin belongs to all of us, rich or not very rich. Owning Bitcoin is about both a hobby and an investment.
although there is no denying that many wealthy people and companies own bitcoin. therefore I hope that wealthy investors should be given maximum limits in owning bitcoin.

If the main establishment personalities and billionaires invest in bitcoin I'm sure they won't reveal it to the public.
So far there is no way to know who are the richest bitcoin investors, all we can do is to see their addresses: https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.html

There are some interesting amounts in some addresses such as more than 140,000 (yes, a hundred forty thousands of bitcoins!) in just one address and others between 60,000-90,000 btcs range. Maybe some famous personalities hide themselves behind these addresses or yet some governments members.

There is a reason rich elites invest into Bitcoin and it's because of anonymity and moreover we cannot track users whoever invest in bitcoin regardless of rich or poor which is not the same case for fiat. It may be some famous personalities like celebrities or sportsperson, business tycoons, politicians or else bankers themselves, but we cannot track them as this is the advantage of decentralisation as regulators cannot indulge in your crypto assets.

It will be hidden for sure.Even they invested, they won't share it for sure.Some may think like it's pride and share in a news. They get some publicity by such things. But mostly people won't share it for sure.Because they won't be ready to pay tax, if the cryptocurrency is legal tender. After they announced, the government may legalised to get bulk tax from that rich person.

I doubt anyone of a public figure is going to announce that they are investing in bitcoin or any crypto currencies. At least those who would like to keep their financial matters private. Even if they do, they won't announce how much they are investing. So your rich elite person due to lack of attention might invest only like 100 bucks and say that he invested in bitcoin.
Curious, why are you looking for that person?

Many of them are open about their investment. You can google "bitcoin millionaires" and you'll get your answer.

Also note that there's a difference between people who have millions thanks to Bitcoin like Roger Ver, people who were rich and multiplied their fortunes with Bitcoin like the W. twins and people who were very rich and recently became interested in Bitcoin.

Also, Bill Gates seems to hate bitcoin.

There are actually lots of rich people or even celebrities that are really going or investing their money into cryptocurrency. Also, there are rich investors that are putting their money on cryptocurrency and making more profit. It is either they are supporting a particular project or just buying a token to hold. But there are some rich people or celebrities that are putting their name on the team of that particular project, for good strategy of promoting their project.

In my view, anyone who has earning in excess meeting all the living needs is rich. Based on the calculation I find more and more number of people investing on bitcoin. The names expected by the OP isn't the rich, but those were billionaires. It won't be revealed that easy, soon we can expect more personalities.

Many people like privacy and don't want to reveal they have bought bitcoin. The fact that so many addresses currently have a balance of $1 million or more but the pseudonymous of bitcoin make sure we won't know who they are unless the exchanges or authorities. Furthermore, there are over 200k addresses contain bitcoin that worth more than $100k. However, we know some famous people that ever hold bitcoin such as bill gates, elon musk, Paris Hilton, mike Tyson, Lionel Messi, and so on.
