[JollyGood]

Some very interesting stats here including several billionaires, plenty of multi-millionaires and some surprises such as several wallets which had a single transaction of thousands of bitcoins in 2011 but those wallets were never really used again some in 2016/17 and some dating back to 2011.

The largest amount is held in a Bitfinex Cold Storage Wallet containing 145,046 BTC ($1,991,736,809 USD)

#2 on the list: Wallet Address 16rCmCmbuWDhPjWTrpQGaU3EPdZF7MTdUk containing 119,203 BTC ($1,636,867,677 USD)

At the 0-seat is Satoshi Nakamoto with 1.000.000 BTC ^^

[criticoflife]

maybe the owner passed away and no-1 knows about those coins. that's why they weren't touched since 2011, they never will be! that's why people should be putting crypto in there wills nowadays because it anything happens to you do you think loved ones would know how to claim your crypto fortunes?

Did not assume that the Bitfinex is so large a stock exchange. 2 billion is a lot

Yeah that is insane.  Can you imagine the procedures and redundancy they must have for protecting that key from disasters, theft, etc?

Agree with you about wills and last testaments. I am sure people nowadays are doing so however, if a wallet is secured with a password then it does not fill me with confidence if I have to write it down in a will in the presence of my lawyer.

So many bitcoin billionaires yet once upon a time in the early days a miner was selling 10,000 bitcoins for $50 but it remained unsold because nobody including fellow miners bought them.

[Flodner]

Interesting data.
Still I don't understand that why don't they count Satoshi Nakamoto? Or is his wallet somewhere in the top 10? I think he should have the biggest number of Bitcoins.
Interesting to know that only with 10 000 BTC you can be among Top 100 (this would include that guy who bought Pizza for 10 000 BTC, by the way I hope he still has good number of Bitcoins)
Of course we don't need to forget that some people have 2, 3 or even 10 wallets.

The Bitifnex cold wallet at #1 was the big surprise for me.

A lot of people say that a few of those wallets are owned by Satoshi Nakamoto, but of course, no one knows if this is real or if they have been just created and owned by the first miners.

But well, one billion dollars in a single wallet haha, i do not even have a 0.01% in my wallet at the moment, maybe less, and we all are probably on the same situation.

This is interesting after all, i will visite the site and see where my wallet is located at the moment, lmao.

[odolvlobo]

Keep in mind that these are addresses and not wallets, and there is very little that you can determine about the people holding bitcoins just from the addresses themselves.

Satoshi is estimated to have up to 800k BTC (which typically gets rounded up to 1 million), but these all remain in the original addresses, each containing 50 BTC.

Many of the top addresses, such as the Bitfinex address, contain bitcoins held for millions of people.

Agreed but the statistics involved for the top 100 are mind boggling

[Aura]

At the 0-seat is Satoshi Nakamoto with 1.000.000 BTC ^^

Satoshi Nakamoto has not stored all his Bitcoins on just one address, he has them spread out over multiple addresses with each 50 BTC.

[Dhaaaw]

How would someone or a group having all that amount of money could even spend it, and if one day he wants out what can he do? like there's no amount of money in the world enough to buy all those bitcoins. It's nothing but a waste to keep 150k+ bitcoins for one entity.

What does you, owning 99 Bitcoin addresses have to do with the top 100 richest Bitcoin addresses?

[UsernameBitcoin]

Most of the top addresses are from exchanges. At least that is what I have noticed. And the most important thing to remember about this list is that it doesn't actually contain the real numbers of the largest BTC accounts because we don't know all of the public keys associated because most of them (Satoshis for example) have never yet been used on the Blockchain and were generated offline.

Only 7 of the addresses have transactions in 4/5 digits, they are probably associated with exchanges. The others are single or double digits in transactions in/outs.

There are some seriously rich people/companies holding BTC out there

[tabas]

So bitfinex has the most bitcoins and that's a lot for an exchange and even with the past hacking incident that happened to them they still got a lot of it. I wonder how many Satoshi Nakamoto is holding? And the number 2 I guess it's the Winklevoss twins holdings.

I'm sure most of them are exchanges and I think this is natural because they are the dominant big players and they can earn huge daily fees.

First the Winkies had serious money bankroll their accumulation to do one thing get SEC approval, so when that didn't happen the money behind Winkies GOT PAID BACK so most of their wallet was sold off.

Granted they had 65 Mil settlement post lawyers and whatever, they got no where near 65mil but they did get a nice payday.

No way do the Winkies have what they controlled when they were relevant with a wallet set to impress the SEC.

Today the players are the exchanges making the market.

Exactly what are the Winkies doing today?

Not much. Their exchange Gemini is where on the list of major exchanges.

The Unicorns are the exchanges with volume and income and the new alt coin startups.

Now unless I'm wrong and Gemini has traction, the Winkies are irrelevant today, but they do have a nice press following.

From what I see they're a minor league exchange with a 100 mil volume and only 18th on the list of exchanges, not bad, but not one of the major exchanges, the top exchange does 2.8 BILLION a day or 28 times their volume.

But GDAX is only top 9 with 500 Million in volume, so not bad, but not a major player in the markets today.

So keeping exchanges aside who are the 'individuals' who hold the most bitcoins? Any ideas?

I'm not updated with those things about Winklevoss' twins and I'm not concerned with it. I admire them to have those hundreds of thousands of bitcoins for being one of the early adopters and investors of bitcoin. They deserve it and I still include them as one of the biggest players in the market today. Every single word they say make a change and gives affect to the economy.

[Alns]

That is pretty incredible, i have always knew that there were some list or somewhere in where we could check the addresess, but i didn't knew that it was so easy to get it.

I am probably on the page 100000, if it does exist, lol.
I am just joking, i dont have a lot of bitcoins and i do not have dust too, it is like a half and a half.
It is strange to see that satoshi is not on the top 1, i know that he has his wealthy distributed, but that is strange.

I have just added you to my ignore list because of your insane spam.

Very interesting topic. Numbers are amazing.

Yeah it is quite crazy to see where it has gone and we are not even a quarter of the way through yet. Wait until half way through your boots are gonna get real excited and you won't stop shaking in them! 

[Schirer]

Vou.
Very interesting information, thank you for this thread!

Was very interesting to see these addresses, I went trough and was imagining different scenarios where people have these btc some of them definitely are owned by North Korea and Iran.

[johniadeluca]

This is insane to think about lol, over a billion in a cold storage wallet? That's crazy. Interesting to see what it will turn out to be soon

[Betinbtc.net]

I am curios, is 80/20  rule is valid here. I mean is 80% of all btc are holding by 20% of the holders

Thanks, there is a lot of coins holding less than 1 BTC, there should be a reason to keep the coins somewhere because of that.

[Sirait]

^ I am so motivated when I see the list of most Bitcoin holders wallet, they are people who believe and focus on Bitcoin. hopefully, my Bitcoin in my wallet can be that much.

I hope all our wallets contain that many coins one day

A lot of the addresses have been inactive for a few years which probably means the owner has lost access to the Bitcoin or they truly are a holder and have the audacity to hold on despite the recent spike on price.

[Headachez]

Could you imagine having a wallet worth $2 Billion Dollars?! Thats alot of pressure.

[BabyFacedGuy]

Where do these guys store all that money? It is insane

[ikrak3n]

i actually think this is a very balanced and fair distribution.  A lot more so than I expected at least.

[JollyGood]

Yes some people must have lost access to their wallets, I feel sorry for them.

[Vannie12]

Now this is pretty neat. I found myself 
However, it is a bit creepy. So everyone might have the chance to see how much you have in bitcoins and equivalent USD. And seeing the population hodling huge percentage of the total stock of bitcoin. I feel I am grateful for those who lost a huge amount forever yet gulity and sad of course. I feel a bit glad knowing that huge amount could not be controlled by anyone because it could drastically manipulate the market that easy. Now we know that bitcoin can not actually go Zero value.
Though thank you for letting us know that there is such thing that could let us see accuracy of the distribution.

[JollyGood]

Returned to this thread and realised the rich list is massive. So many fabulously wealthy people out there.

[yohan09]

At the 0-seat is Satoshi Nakamoto with 1.000.000 BTC ^^

Really? It was amazing to know, He had that much bitcoins in his pocket, I knew he has not owning with only one wallet,  If he has 10 wallet with huge  amount, Therefore he must be frontline on top wealthiest man on earth.

[ranman09]

maybe the owner passed away and no-1 knows about those coins. that's why they weren't touched since 2011, they never will be! that's why people should be putting crypto in there wills nowadays because it anything happens to you do you think loved ones would know how to claim your crypto fortunes?

I also believe that this is the best way to protect it. You don't have to be the one who only knows your passkeys. Find someone you can really trust, your wife, siblings, mom or dad about the passkey.

Always remember that bitcoin is decentralized you are your own bank. So whatever happens only you can access it if you don't do this.

The idea that Satoshi is not one person but rather a team consisting of more than one person is as much a possibility as any other. Just a small number of people actually know who or what Satoshi Nakamoto is.

[Veterock]

What's the difference how many bitcoins someone has?) The most important thing is that we do not have them))) And this is really a problem)

[JollyGood]

One of the differences is that some people try to make a path for the future of Bitcoin based on how many coins they hold whereas others do not, think about the way Ver and Winklevoss brothers have handled their Bitcoin presence. yes we do not have thousands of Bitcoin between us but we are part of the community and we contribute in other ways
