Crypto Millionaires Approach the 250k Mark Around the World, Report Says

The global population of cryptocurrency millionaires has soared to a record 241,700 in 2025, according to the latest Crypto Wealth Report released by Henley & Partners, using exclusive data provided by New World Wealth.

This reflects an impressive 40% jump from 2024, largely driven by the rapid rise of Bitcoin holders who crossed the million-dollar mark. Bitcoin millionaires alone surged by 70%, reaching 145,100, as the overall crypto market value grew to $3.3 trillion by mid-2025—a 45% gain from 2024.

At the very top of the wealth ladder are 36 crypto billionaires, up by nearly 30%, and 450 individuals with digital asset portfolios exceeding $100 million, a 38% increase year over year. Analysts note that the growth coincides with major institutional recognition, including the historic release of the first crypto tied to a sitting U.S. president.

Dominic Volek, who heads private client services at Henley & Partners, noted that the explosive growth of digital wealth is forcing regulators, tax agencies, and financial advisors to adapt quickly. He noted that while traditional wealth has always been tied to physical locations and regulatory systems, crypto breaks that model. With just a private key, one can secure massive wealth that can be accessed instantly from anywhere in the world.

The report highlights a growing maturity in the way wealthy investors structure their digital holdings. AI is increasingly managing institutional portfolios, with Switzerland positioning itself as a central hub for custodial services. Experts also point out a shift in how Bitcoin is used, moving away from a speculative asset and evolving into collateral for broader financial systems.

Mobility is also becoming central to how crypto millionaires operate. Binance’s head of VIP and Institutional, Catherine Chen, notes that many are seeking second citizenship or residence programs to gain both financial and geographic flexibility.

Countries are responding by creating crypto-friendly policies, with some even allowing citizenship applications to be paid in digital assets. Additionally, more than 100 countries are now testing central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), with nearly half already running pilot projects.

The Henley Crypto Adoption Index, part of the annual report, ranks the most crypto-friendly nations offering investment migration programs. It ranks countries based on six factors, including technology, regulation, and tax policy.

Singapore currently tops the list, followed by Hong Kong, the United States, the UAE, and Switzerland. Other notable players include Malta, the UK, Canada, and Australia. Smaller nations such as Portugal, Monaco, and St. Kitts and Nevis are also making their mark with attractive tax regimes and investment programs.

According to Volek, what was once the exclusive privilege of multinational corporations—shifting assets across borders—is now available to individual investors. Cryptocurrency has given people tools to manage their money globally, independent of government systems, reshaping both personal finance and state regulation.

As more companies like BitFuFu Inc. (NASDAQ: FUFU) emerge riding on the growing popularity of digital assets, the number of crypto millionaires is bound to rise even higher.
