There Are Now More Crypto Millionaires and Billionaires Than Ever Before Amid Bitcoin Boom

In brief

  • The number of crypto millionaires, centi-millionaires, and billionaires are all up in the last year as asset prices have risen.
  • Bitcoin’s rise played a big role, with Bitcoin millionaires jumping 70% as the asset made a new all-time high above $124,000.
  • The count of Bitcoin centi-millionaires and billionaires also rose at least 55% in the last year.

The total number of crypto millionaires and billionaires has grown by 40% and 29% respectively over the course of the last year, according to the Crypto Wealth Report published by investment consultants Henley & Partners. 

Based on data ending on June 30, the report indicates there are approximately 241,700 crypto millionaires and 36 crypto billionaires globally, setting new records for crypto wealth.

“This significant growth coincides with a watershed year for institutional adoption, highlighted by the first-ever cryptocurrencies launched by a sitting U.S. president and first lady,” the report reads.

Bitcoin’s sharp rise played the biggest role in creating new wealth, with Bitcoin millionaires alone jumping 70% in the last 12 months to 145,100. The count of new Bitcoin centi-millonaires, or those with at least $100 million, and Bitcoin billionaires have also jumped 63% and 55%, respectively. 

The largest cryptocurrency by market cap has seen its price rise 78% in the last year, now changing hands at $112,881—or more than 5% higher than it was on June 30, the final day of data collection for the newly published report.

Bitcoin has continued to rise to new peaks over the course of 2025 so far after hitting the $100,000 price mark for the first time ever in December. The current BTC record price stands at $124,128 as set in August, according to CoinGecko.

Some of that rise should be attributed to the increasing acceptance of cryptocurrency’s role in the future of finance in the United States under President Donald Trump and his administration’s more lenient approach to crypto innovation.

But a global appeal for crypto wealth is extending beyond borders, the report says. 

“While roughly $14.4 trillion worth of wealth crossed national borders in 2024, the entire architecture of modern finance assumes that money has a home address—but cryptocurrency doesn’t,” wrote Dominic Volek, the group head of private clients at Henley & Partners.

“For millennia, storing wealth meant anchoring it to a place… today, cryptocurrency has made geography optional—with nothing more than 12 memorized words, an individual can secure a billion dollars in Bitcoin, instantly accessible from Zurich or Zhengzhou alike.”

It’s not just people getting rich on crypto. The report also highlights the changing dynamic that AI agents and bots may play in the future of finance, highlighting the Fartcoin-inspiring Truth Terminal and its path to millionaire status in 2024.

A representative for Henley & Partners did not immediately respond to Decrypt’s request for comment.

OFAC Designates Two Iranian Finance Facilitators For Crypto Shadow Banking

The Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned two Iranian financial facilitators for coordinating over $100 million worth of cryptocurrency in oil sales for the Iranian government, a September 16 press release shows. OFAC Sanctions Iranian Nationals According to the Tuesday press release, Iranian nationals Alireza Derakhshan and Arash Estaki Alivand “used a network of front companies in multiple foreign jurisdictions” to transfer the digital assets. OFAC alleges that Alivand and Derakhshan’s transfers also involved the sale of Iranian oil that benefited Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF) and the Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics (MODAFL). IRGC-QF and MODAFL then used the proceeds to support regional proxy terrorist organizations and strengthen their advanced weapons systems, including ballistic missiles. U.S. officials say the move targets shadow banking in the region, where illicit financial actors use overseas money laundering and digital assets to evade sanctions. “Iranian entities rely on shadow banking networks to evade sanctions and move millions through the international financial system,” said Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence John K. Hurley. “Under President Trump’s leadership, we will continue to disrupt these key financial streams that fund Iran’s weapons programs and malign activities in the Middle East and beyond,” he continued. Dozens Designated In Shadow Banking Scandal Both Alivand and Derakhshan have been designated “for having materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of the IRGC-QF.” In addition to Alivand and Derakhshan, OFAC has sanctioned more than a dozen Hong Kong and United Arab Emirates-based entities and individuals tied to the network. According to the press release, the sanctioned entities may face civil or criminal penalties imposed as a result
