Who Owns the Wallets with the Most Bitcoin (BTC)? Billionaires List Published

Arkham, a cryptocurrency analysis and monitoring platform, has published a comprehensive study on the individuals, organizations, and wallets that will own the most Bitcoin as of 2026.

According to the report, when different wallets are grouped under a single asset, Bitcoin’s anonymous founder Satoshi Nakamoto is by far the largest BTC holder.

According to Arkham’s tagging system, which is based on a mining pattern known as the “Patoshi Pattern,” Satoshi controls approximately 1.096 million BTC. At current prices, this amount is worth approximately $75 billion. Research indicates that these assets were obtained from mining rewards of approximately 22,000 blocks.

Looking at individual wallets, the largest address stands out as a cold wallet belonging to the cryptocurrency exchange Binance, with approximately 250,000 BTC.

The top four spots are again occupied by cold wallets belonging to major cryptocurrency exchanges. Fifth place goes to a wallet containing assets seized after the 2016 hack and controlled by US authorities; while sixth place is occupied by the address managing Bitcoin reserves of stablecoin issuer Tether.

Bitcoin’s rise to approximately $126,000 in October 2025 and its total market capitalization peaking at $2.48 trillion has led to the emergence of numerous new Bitcoin billionaires.

Because Bitcoin is a decentralized digital asset, the entire network does not have a single owner. However, the individuals or organizations that control the private keys are considered the owners of the respective BTC assets.

In the organization-based ranking, Coinbase is in second place with approximately 993,000 BTC. It is followed by:

• BlackRock (ETF issuer) – 761,000 BTC
• Binance – 661,000 BTC
• Fidelity Investments (custody service) – 448,000 BTC
• Strategy – 415,000 BTC on-chain (total amount controlled: 714,000 BTC)

In the category of states, the US Government is the largest holder of Bitcoin. Including assets seized as a result of operations against various criminal organizations, the US holds approximately 328,000 BTC.

Other government entities that can be verified on-chain include:

• United Kingdom – 61,000 BTC
• El Salvador – 7,500 BTC
• UAE Royal Group (Citadel Mining) – 6,800 BTC
• Royal Government of Bhutan (Druk Holdings) – 5,600 BTC
• Russian Government – 1,000 BTC

Arkham notes that more governments may own Bitcoin, but these haven’t yet been verified on-chain.

The report also states that there are numerous unnamed billion-dollar Bitcoin wallets, most of which have remained inactive for a long time after their initial entry. This indicates that a significant portion of the circulating supply has not joined the active market.
