However, the trend offers a proxy for changes in on-chain wealth distribution, according to Finbold.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of the third quarter 2025, Bitcoin had added a net 20,688 millionaire addresses year-to-date, driven by price momentum earlier in the year, the data showed. The final quarter saw a reversal that eliminated earlier gains and pushed the full-year figure into negative territory, according to the report.<\/p>\n<p>The contraction occurred as Bitcoin remained embedded in institutional portfolios, Finbold stated. Bitcoin began 2025 trading near recent highs and ended the year lower, reflecting a net price decline despite sustained demand through regulated investment vehicles, the report said.<\/p>\n<p>In 2024, Bitcoin added 56,325 new millionaire addresses, an average of 154 per day, according to Finbold\u2019s previous data. The 2025 figures marked a shift in on-chain wealth dynamics, with larger holders increasing their footprint while smaller millionaire wallets exited, the report concluded.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin lost 7,485 millionaire addresses in 2025 even as $10m+ wallets grew, signaling sharper wealth concentration despite strong ETF inflows and early\u2011year gains.
