Crypto wealth reaches $2.6 trillion as Bitcoin ownership expands
The Crypto Wealth Report 2026 by Henley & Partners indicates that the global cryptocurrency market is valued at USD 2.6 trillion, with Bitcoin accounting for USD 1.6 trillion of that total. The report identifies 135,694 crypto millionaires worldwide, including 92,272 Bitcoin millionaires. Additionally, there are 23 crypto billionaires, nine of whom hold their wealth in Bitcoin, and 290 centi-millionaires holding USD 100 million or more.
Ownership of digital assets continues to expand, with 742 million individuals holding some amount of cryptocurrency, 371 million of whom hold Bitcoin. Experts note that the portability of digital wealth is increasing the importance of residence and citizenship planning for investors.
In the United Kingdom, a study by Morgan Investment Holding reveals that nearly three million people have invested in cryptocurrency. However, the study highlights a lack of professional guidance, noting that only 5% of these investors consulted a financial advisor. Furthermore, approximately 2.5 million British investors reportedly lack a fundamental understanding of the digital assets they are purchasing.
