Crypto Rich List: 290 Ultra-Wealthy Individuals Hold Over $100M in Cryptocurrency
Henley & Partners' latest Crypto Wealth Report 2026 reveals that 290 individuals worldwide hold over $100 million in crypto assets, a figure that reflects the growing popularity of cryptocurrency among the ultra-wealthy.
The report, released on September 8, 2026, found that Bitcoin is doing the heavy lifting, with 151 of these mega-holders carrying their wealth solely in Bitcoin. This suggests that investors are increasingly treating Bitcoin as a long-term store of value.
Zooming out from the top tier, the report shows that there are 135,694 crypto millionaires globally, with 92,272 building their status primarily through Bitcoin holdings. At the very top, 23 individuals qualify as crypto billionaires, and 9 of them hold Bitcoin as their sole digital asset.
The numbers come with a methodological caveat: Henley used a new on-chain methodology for this report, which means direct year-over-year comparisons to prior editions are not reliable benchmarks.
