Who owns the most Bitcoin?

However, it is possible to track the movement of large amounts of Bitcoin, and there are several well-known entities that own significant amounts of Bitcoin. These include cryptocurrency exchanges, investment funds, and wealthy individuals.

According to various reports and analyses, the largest holders of Bitcoin include cryptocurrency exchanges like Binance and Coinbase, which hold millions of Bitcoin in their wallets. Other large holders of Bitcoin include investment funds like Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, which holds over 650,000 Bitcoin.
