In the middle of the record increase in bitcoin in 2025, the number of crypto millionaires increased by 40%, reaching 241,700 individuals. The number of cryptographic billionaires jumped from 29% to 36, according to a report by Henley & Partners and New World Wealth.
The total value of their assets exceeded 3.3 billions of dollars, marking an increase of 45% compared to the previous year.
Almost half of cryptographic billionaires have raised their wealth through the first cryptocurrency. Among the cryptographic millionaires, around 60% have their fortune with digital gold. During the year, the number of Bitcoins holders among people with more than a million dollars in capital increased by 70%.
The authors of the report attributed the rise in power to “institutional adoption, leading to the launch of cryptocurrencies by the sitting American president”.
For the context: 241,700 cryptographic millionaires represent 0.4% of about 60 million millionaires worldwide, according to UBS.
The Henley & Partners and New World Wealth Report methodology is based on 150,000 rich behavior analysis, blockchain data and cryptocurrency exchanges in June.
Globally, there are 590 million owners of digital assets, representing 7.4% of the world’s population. Among these, 295 million invest in Bitcoin, an increase of 7% compared to the previous year.
A new philosophy
The study authors identified a fundamental transformation of capital management strategies. They noted that the first cryptocurrency is increasingly used as guaranteed rather than a speculative asset.
Jan3 CEO Samson Mow has highlighted a key paradox of modern times: while the fiduciary currencies are continuing an endless emission path, Bitcoin, with its 21 million room ceiling, offers an opposite – Scarcity model.
According to him, this dichotomy presents to governments an unprecedented challenge, forcing them to face a form of sovereign wealth which exists outside the limits of traditional monetary control.
Dominic Stepk de Henley & Partners stressed that cryptocurrencies have democratized capital management tools which were once the conservation of global companies.
“Capital management techniques that were only available for companies for decades can now be used by anyone with Internet access. This is a powerful change: people take global control of their assets, while governments are faced with a threat to their tax systems based on the monitoring of financial flows, “he said.
Crypto-money adoption
The report also presents an “index for adoption of cryptocurrencies”, the classification of countries by the level of public and infrastructure of digital assets, innovation, taxes and regulatory factors.
The United States leads the adoption of the public, Hong Kong in infrastructure and Singapore in innovation. Australia and Singapore are at the top of the classification of the quality of the regulatory environment, while Monaco and United Arab Emirates Excel in tax attractiveness.
Volek noted that cryptocurrencies have changed the concept of geographic attachment of wealth:
“Today, with 12 memorized words, a person can store a billion dollars of bitcoin, instantly accessible from Zurich or Zhengzhou.”
Previously, Ukraine and Russia ranked respectively in eighth and tenth, in the world adoption index of cryptocurrency for 2025 by the Chainalysis analysis company.
