Amid the record-breaking rise<\/a> of Bitcoin in 2025, the number of crypto millionaires increased by 40%, reaching 241,700 individuals. The number of crypto billionaires jumped by 29% to 36, according to a report<\/a> by Henley & Partners and New World Wealth.<\/p>\n

The total value of their assets exceeded $3.3 trillion, marking a 45% increase from the previous year.<\/p>\n

Nearly half of the crypto billionaires amassed their wealth through the first cryptocurrency. Among crypto millionaires, about 60% owe their fortunes to digital gold. Over the year, the number of Bitcoin holders among individuals with over $1 million in capital rose by 70%.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The report’s authors attributed the surge to “institutional adoption, culminating in the launch of cryptocurrencies<\/a> by the sitting US president.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

For context: 241,700 crypto millionaires represent 0.4% of the approximately 60 million millionaires worldwide, according to UBS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The methodology of the Henley & Partners and New World Wealth report is based on the analysis of the behavior of 150,000 wealthy individuals, blockchain data, and information from cryptocurrency exchanges as of June.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Globally, there are 590 million digital asset owners, accounting for 7.4% of the world’s population. Of these, 295 million invest in Bitcoin, a 7% increase from the previous year.<\/p>\n

A New Philosophy\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n

The study’s authors identified a fundamental transformation in capital management strategies. They noted that the first cryptocurrency is increasingly used as collateral rather than a speculative asset.\u00a0<\/p>\n

JAN3 CEO Samson Mow highlighted a key paradox of modern times: while fiat currencies pursue a path of endless issuance, Bitcoin, with its hard cap of 21 million coins, offers an opposing model\u2014scarcity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to him, this dichotomy presents governments with an unprecedented challenge, forcing them to contend with a form of sovereign wealth that exists outside the bounds of traditional monetary control.<\/p>\n

Dominic Volek of Henley & Partners emphasized that cryptocurrencies have democratized capital management tools that were once the preserve of global corporations.<\/p>\n

\n

“Capital management techniques that were available only to corporations for decades can now be used by anyone with internet access. This is a powerful shift: people gain global control over their assets, while governments face a threat to their tax systems built on tracking financial flows,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Cryptocurrency Adoption\u00a0<\/h2>\n

The report also presents a “Cryptocurrency Adoption Index,” ranking countries by the level of public and infrastructural integration of digital assets, innovation, taxes, and regulatory factors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The United States leads in public adoption, Hong Kong in infrastructure, and Singapore in innovation. Australia and Singapore top the ranking for regulatory environment quality, while Monaco and UAE<\/span> excel in tax attractiveness.<\/p>\n

Volek noted that cryptocurrencies have altered the concept of geographical wealth attachment:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

“Today, with 12 memorized words, a person can store a billion dollars in Bitcoin, accessible instantly from Zurich or Zhengzhou.”\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Earlier, Ukraine and Russia ranked<\/a> eighth and tenth, respectively, in the global cryptocurrency adoption index for 2025 by the analytics firm Chainalysis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
