The world number of cryptographic millionaires jumped 40%, reaching 241,700. This growth coincides with an assessment of the digital asset market exceeding 3.3 billions of dollars by mid-2025, according to the Crypto 2025 wealth report, published by the Investment Migration Council Henley & Partners.
The push is largely motivated by the high performance of Bitcoin prices and increasing institutional adoption.

Bitcoin created 145,100 new millionaires, up 70% in annual shift
The number of investors with more than a million dollars in BTC increased by 70% in annual sliding to 145,100. About 60% of the total of 241,700 cryptographic millionaires come from Bitcoin, with 450 centimillionaires, with $ 100 million or more. Among the newly created crypto-billionaires, 36 people now control massive issues, 17 of which mainly hold Bitcoin assets, reflecting an increase of 55% from one year to the other of what the report calls for an increase in “historic” wealth.
Henley & Partners Note: “This significant growth coincides with a year of the watershed for institutional adoption, underlined by the very first cryptocurrencies launched by an American president and an in-office.”
These figures are smaller in the broader context: the latest UBS reports believe that there are 60 million millionaires worldwide, which means that cryptographic millionaires represent only 0.4%.
The study also estimates that the total global users of cryptography at 590 million, or around 7.4% of the 8 billion in the world, up 5% compared to the previous year. Bitcoin holders represent 295 million, an increase of 7% from one year to the next.
The report underlines the Bitcoin transition from a speculative asset to a fundamental financial tool. Experts note that it is increasingly exploited as guarantee and a reserve of value, indicating an evolution towards a parallel financial system.

“Bitcoin is no longer an investment; it becomes a basic currency for the preservation of wealth,” said Philipp A. Baumann, founder of Z22 Technologies.
What countries are the most user -friendly
The Hingley Class Crypto, Hong Kong Crypto, and the United States and Jurisdictions for the adoption of cryptocurrency. Singapore and Australia go in regulatory conviviality, Monaco and water are most favorable to taxes, the United States excels in the adoption of the public, Hong Kong in infrastructure and Singapore in innovation – the most favorable environments for cryptographic growth.
Analysts say that this growing adoption could stimulate institutional and individual engagement with digital assets. The portability of cryptocurrencies, often secured by a simple sentence of seeds, questions the traditional concepts of geographically anchored wealth.
The adoption of cryptography is also to reshape the world’s wealth models. Investors are increasingly exploring residence or citizenship programs to navigate regulatory uncertainty and access favorable banking systems.
“The cryptocurrency redefines global finance,” said Dominic Stepk, group leader of private customers from Henley & Partners. “With Bitcoin, individuals with high content cannot instantly access billions of billions of people, which reduces the importance of physical location in wealth management.”
The rapid rise of cryptographic millionaires can also encourage regulators and tax authorities to revise existing frameworks, welcoming forms of decentralized and mobile wealth. This emerging class of holders is likely to influence both market trends and political decisions in the years to come.
