Top Bitcoin Rich Lists in 2026 - Who Really Controls $BTC ?
Bitcoin is still the heavyweight of crypto, with a market cap above $1.7T - and ownership is more concentrated than many realize. While price swings grab attention, the real influence often sits with a small group of holders. Today, Bitcoin $BTC is down near $89.6K, but the power dynamics haven’t changed.
Here’s who holds the biggest stacks 👇
• Satoshi Nakamoto remains the largest holder, with about 968,452 BTC (roughly 4.8% of supply). These coins were mined early and have never moved, spread across thousands of addresses.
• MicroStrategy ranks near the top with 709,715 BTC (around 3.4%). Under Michael Saylor, the firm has aggressively used debt to accumulate Bitcoin, pushing other companies to rethink treasury strategies.
• BlackRock holds roughly 780,410 BTC through its IBIT ETF, close to 3.9% of total supply. This marks a major shift, bringing traditional institutional capital deeper into Bitcoin.
