With the quantity of “wholecoiner” Bitcoin wallets holding a minimum of one BTC increasing once a year, the remaining addresses represent simply five-hitter of Bitcoin’s market cap

New knowledge suggests that “wholecoiners” — Bitcoin wallets holding one BTC or additional — currently account for ninety fifth of the cryptocurrency’s entire capitalization. That leaves simply five-hitter of the market cap divided among tens of legion users with a balance below 1BTC.

The total range of wholecoiner addresses has steady inflated year-over-year since 2009, despite BTC’s astronomic value rallies. On Nov. 27, Glassnode CTO Rafael Shultze-Kraft tweeted a chart revealing that over 800,000 addresses presently hold a minimum of one BTC.

According to Bit data Charts, wholecoiner addresses represent around $301 billion value of BTC. in contrast, this combined price of less-than-wholecoin addresses is $16 billion.

A linear chart reveals few retracements within the history of wholecoiners, with the most important dip returning in early 2016 once the quantity of addresses holding a minimum of one BTC fell by thirteen.5%, from 520,000 to 450,000.

The year 2018 conjointly saw wholecoiner growth stagnate, with the quantity of addresses periodical between roughly 720,000 and 690,000 for twelve months from Dec 2017.

According to Into The Block, 32.95 million Bitcoin addresses presently hold some price of BTC, suggesting that wholecoiners represent simply zero.47% of balance-bearing
