More than 26,700 cryptocurrency traders have become bitcoin millionaires in the last 6 months

During the first six months of 2025, the number of bitcoin owners BTC $109,872.31 Bitcoin 0.34% Market capitalization $2.19 trillion VOL. 24 hours $1.69 billion with assets worth more than $ 1 million increased by 26,758 addresses and reached 182,327, according to Henley & Partners analysts. At the beginning of the year, there were 155,569 such investors. The main reason for the increase in the number of bitcoin millionaires is the rise in the price of the cryptocurrency, which increased by about 60% from January to the end of June and reached $ 109,000.

Analysts note that there is a growing interest in digital assets among both private and corporate investors. Among the main factors, they highlight the growth of corporate investments, positive changes in the regulation of the US market (in particular, the signing of a decree on the creation of a national bitcoin reserve by President Donald Trump in March), as well as the support of bitcoin ETFs by large hedge funds.

The growth of bitcoin’s status as a store of value is also confirmed by the position of BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, who considers this cryptocurrency to be a digital analog of gold, which attracts capital during global instability. Analysts emphasize that such trends increase confidence in bitcoin as a viable asset for portfolio diversification and risk protection.

At the same time, bitcoin continues to compete with traditional instruments such as gold and is strengthening its position among institutional and private investors in global markets.
