Number of Bitcoin millionaire wallets triples in 2023 appeared on cointelegraph.com by Cointelegraph By Tom Mitchelhill.

The number of crypto wallet addresses holding more than $1 million in Bitcoin (BTC) has more than tripled this year. 

BitInfoCharts data shows the number of addresses with more than $1 million in BTC increased from 23,795 on Jan. 1 to 81,925 currently, a 237% increase in the last 11 months.

The millionaire wallets are not one-to-one with individual users as many addresses with more than $1 million BTC belong to crypto exchanges and financial institutions.

Comparative data from Glassnode shows the number of addresses holding more than $1 million in Bitcoin peaked during the top of the last bull market in November 2021, posting a record 112,573 addresses on Nov. 9, 2021, the day before Bitcoin notched its all-time high of $69,000 on Nov. 10, 2021.

Meanwhile, the number of so-called “wholecoiners” — wallets with a balance of at least 1 BTC — has increased slightly since the beginning of the year. Currently, there are 1,018,015 such addresses, a 4% increase from 978,197 on Jan. 1.

The largest increase in wholecoiners since 2018 occurred between April and December last year showing a strong accumulation trend despite a broader price decline resulting from a slew of high-profile crypto industry meltdowns.

Bitcoin is currently changing hands for nearly $37,100, up 38% over the last month. Bitcoin’s price has been buoyed by market enthusiasm for multiple pending spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) products.

Bloomberg ETF analysts claim there’s a 90% chance a spot Bitcoin ETF will be approved by Jan. 10, with many expecting a significant price rally to follow.

Despite the market’s bullish sentiment, not all analysts are convinced that a spot Bitcoin ETF approval will launch the next bull run.

CMC Markets analyst Tina Teng claimed while an approval would be a positive for the crypto industry, both Bitcoin and the wider macro landscape lack the required fundamentals to justify an all-out trend reversal.
