LONDON, Sept 23 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The ranks of crypto millionaires have surged to an unprecedented 241,700 individuals worldwide, according to the newly released Crypto Wealth Report 2025 by international residence and citizenship advisory specialists Henley & Partners. That’s a remarkable 40% increase in just 12 months, fueled by a dramatic surge in Bitcoin millionaires — up 70% year-on-year to 145,100 holders — and a booming total market valuation of USD 3.3 trillion as of June 2025, a 45% jump from a year previously.
At the apex of the crypto wealth pyramid, the number of ultra-wealthy individuals is rising sharply: 450 centi-millionaires now control crypto portfolios worth USD 100 million or more, up 38% since last year, while the number of crypto billionaires has climbed to 36, an increase of 29%. This significant growth coincides with a watershed year for institutional adoption, highlighted by the first-ever cryptocurrencies launched by a sitting US President and First Lady.
