Addresses with Balance ≥ $1M is the number of Bitcoin addresses holding BTC worth at least $1 million at the prevailing USD price. It measures qualifying addresses rather than millionaires or the total BTC they hold.
Higher readings indicate a wider set of million-dollar addresses; declines can reflect either reduced balances or price-driven loss of eligibility. The series reached 175,596 on October 6, 2025, whereas its 2022 minimum was 22,668 on November 21. These are observations of dollar wealth at addresses, not a fixed holder cohort.
Large custodial wallets may represent thousands of customers, and one wealthy holder may split coins across addresses below the cutoff. Dollar revaluation can change this count without any transfer, so it cannot establish how many individuals became millionaires.
The series recorded 175,596 qualifying addresses on October 6, 2025. That count refers to addresses with at least $1 million in BTC, not verified individual millionaires.
No. Eligibility uses the current value of the remaining balance, regardless of acquisition cost. A much smaller original outlay may qualify after appreciation.
No. Every address worth at least $1 million also meets the $1,000 threshold. The two counts are nested and should not be added together.
