Henley & Partners' Crypto Wealth Report 2026 estimates 290 people worldwide hold $100 million or more in crypto assets, as of Aug. 31. A wider 135,694 cross the $1 million threshold, with 92,272 holding at least $1 million specifically in Bitcoin, and the global crypto-holder population sits at roughly 742 million, about half of whom own Bitcoin.
Why it matters
The centi-millionaire tier is structurally rare: roughly 1 in 2.5 million holders. The 92,272 holders with at least $1 million in Bitcoin make up roughly 68% of crypto millionaires, framing Bitcoin as the primary store-of-value layer despite the 2026 pullback from prior highs.
Market impact
Singapore topped Henley's Crypto Adoption Index for a fourth straight year, followed by the UAE, Hong Kong, the US and Switzerland. The repeat ranking matters more than the headline figure: Singapore, UAE and Hong Kong all run defined digital-asset licensing regimes, and a four-year streak signals durable institutional positioning rather than a single-year anomaly. Watch the next print to see whether Switzerland breaks into the top three as its DLT law matures.
