Bitcoin Millionaires Vanish as 7.5k Addresses Drop Out in 2025 Shakeout
Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: Bitcoin millionaires vanish as 7.5k addresses drop out in 2025 shakeout Original Link: Bitcoin addresses holding at least $1 million declined by 7,485 in 2025, falling to 148,084 by year-end, according to market data released this week.
Bitcoin Millionaire Addresses Decline
Bitcoin millionaire addresses dropped from 155,569 on January 1 to 148,084 by December 31, 2025, even as spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds attracted billions in inflows throughout the year.
Addresses holding $10 million or more increased during the same period, rising from 15,319 to 16,368. The figures suggest wealth concentration intensified as mid-tier millionaire wallets declined.
The net loss equates to approximately 21 Bitcoin millionaire addresses disappearing per day over the year. A single individual can control multiple Bitcoin addresses, meaning wallet counts do not correspond one-to-one with unique individuals. However, the trend offers a proxy for changes in on-chain wealth distribution.
By the end of the third quarter 2025, Bitcoin had added a net 20,688 millionaire addresses year-to-date, driven by price momentum earlier in the year. The final quarter saw a reversal that eliminated earlier gains and pushed the full-year figure into negative territory.
The contraction occurred as Bitcoin remained embedded in institutional portfolios. Bitcoin began 2025 trading near recent highs and ended the year lower, reflecting a net price decline despite sustained demand through regulated investment vehicles.
In 2024, Bitcoin added 56,325 new millionaire addresses, an average of 154 per day. The 2025 figures marked a shift in on-chain wealth dynamics, with larger holders increasing their footprint while smaller millionaire wallets exited.
