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.

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.

im the owner of 99 Bitcoin WALLET ADDRESSE

[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.
