The global population of Crypto Millionaires has reached 241,700, an increase of 40% in the past year, according to Crypto Wealth Report 2025 By Henley & Partners.
The wave coincides with a wider rally that lifted the overall digital asset market market to $ 3.3 trillion in June, a 45% year to year, said the report with data from the global wealth company for wealth-in-law company New World Wealth.
Bitcoin remains the most important driving force for the creation of wealth in the sector.
Property with portfolios over $ 1 million in BTC rose 70% to 145,100 years over year. At the top end, 450 individuals now have at least $ 100 million in crypto, while 36 billionaires control even greater efforts.
The report points to a shift in how digital assets are used, with Bitcoin increasingly treated as security rather than a speculative game. This development, says observers, transforms the token into the base layer in a parallel financial system.
“Bitcoin becomes the basis of a parallel financial system where [it] is not only an investment in speculation about appreciation of Fiat prices, but the basic currency for accumulation of wealth. “Philipp A. Baumann, founder of Z22 Technologies, said in the report.
Tableless wealth
Crypto’s decentralized character also draws patterns of global wealth. Analysts note that investors are pursuing citizenship and residency programs to navigate regulatory uncertainty while ensuring access to bank and tax-efficient jurisdictions.
Henley’s annual Crypto Adoption Index ranks Singapore, Hong Kong, USA, Switzerland and UAE as the top five destinations for digital asset investors.
With over $ 14 trillion in wealth moving across borders last year, the report claims that Crypto’s portability-sent after a little more than a seed-frase market leader a fundamental break from centuries with place-based financial systems.
“Today, Cryptocurrency has made geography optional – with no more than 12 remembered words, a person can secure a billion dollars in Bitcoin, right away from Zurich or Zhengzhou,” said Dominic Vederk, group manager for private clients at Henley & Partners.
