Macro & Markets ·
Henley & Partners' Crypto Wealth Report 2026 finds that 290 individuals globally possess at least $100 million in cryptocurrency assets, based on a combination of on-chain analysis, public records, and wealth modeling. The report, dated August 31, identifies 135,694 crypto millionaires across the world, of which 92,272 hold a minimum of $1 million in Bitcoin alone. The broader crypto ecosystem now encompasses approximately 742 million holders, with roughly half concentrating their holdings in Bitcoin.
The report's 2026 Crypto Adoption Index offers a geographic breakdown of crypto engagement, with Singapore maintaining the top position for a fourth consecutive year. The UAE, Hong Kong, the U.S., and Switzerland round out the top five markets by adoption metrics. The data encompasses both the ultra-concentrated wealth tier and mass-market participation, revealing substantial disparities in asset distribution across the crypto-holding population.
The methodology relies on multiple data sources to construct its estimates, yet the precision of wealth figures at the extreme end remains subject to the inherent limitations of on-chain visibility and wealth modeling. The report does not clarify which specific cryptocurrencies dominate holdings beyond Bitcoin, nor does it detail whether the $100 million threshold accounts for total portfolio value or single-asset concentration.
