Global Crypto-Wealth Report 2026: 135,694 Crypto-Millionaires Now Exist

The world now counts 135,694 crypto-millionaires—individuals holding at least $1 million in digital assets—according to the Crypto Wealth Report 2026 by Henley & Partners. Based on market prices as of August 31, 2026, the data also identifies 92,272 individuals whose wealth exceeds $1 million solely in Bitcoin.

Market Context and Methodology Changes

This growth occurs against a backdrop of a global cryptocurrency market valued at approximately $2.6 trillion at the end of August, with Bitcoin alone accounting for nearly $1.6 trillion of that total.

However, Henley & Partners notes that its methodology has been updated this year. Consequently, the 2026 data cannot be directly compared to figures from previous editions of the report.

Concentration of Crypto Wealth

The report highlights a significant concentration of wealth among the top holders:

• 290 crypto-centi-millionaires hold at least $100 million in digital assets.
• Of these, 151 individuals possess a fortune exceeding $100 million in Bitcoin alone.
• The report also identifies 23 billionaires whose wealth is linked to cryptocurrencies.

This concentration of digital wealth is intensifying competition among jurisdictions seeking to attract investors and entrepreneurs in the crypto sector.

Top Jurisdictions for Digital Asset Investors

According to Henley & Partners’ ranking, the following jurisdictions are best positioned to attract digital asset investors:

1. Singapore
2. United Arab Emirates (UAE)
3. Hong Kong

These regions are leveraging favorable regulatory frameworks and strategic initiatives to solidify their status as global hubs for the crypto economy.
