It has been just revealed the fact that there are more than 60k Bitcoin millionaires in 2023 alone. Check out the latest bullish reports.
Bitcoin millionaires emergeBitcoin (BTC) is currently trading in the green zone, aiming to reach a new all-time high after experiencing a downturn in 2022. As its value resurges, Bitcoin is also creating more millionaire holders.
According to data retrieved by Finbold, the number of Bitcoin millionaires on November 12 was 88,628, showing a significant increase of 60,544 from the 28,084 millionaires reported on January 5.
This surge in Bitcoin millionaires is equivalent to a remarkable 215% growth, marking a threefold increase in 2023.
As of January 5, 2023, there were 28,084 Bitcoin millionaires, out of which 24,279 held a minimum of $1 million worth of BTC.
Additionally, 3,805 addresses had at least $10 million worth of Bitcoin. The increase in Bitcoin millionaires can be attributed to the surge in the asset’s price. The digital currency rose to $37,000 from lingering below the $30,000 threshold for most of the year.
During January, Bitcoin millionaires were a small group facing the bearish sentiments in the cryptocurrency market.
This was particularly true because Bitcoin faced challenges caused by macroeconomic conditions and fallout from incidents such as the collapse of the FTX crypto exchange.
Bitcoin has been experiencing a surge in value, and this can be attributed to several factors. One of the main reasons for this ongoing rally is the anticipation of the approval of the first Bitcoin spot Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF).
As per a report by Finbold, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) might approve 12 separate Bitcoin ETF spots over the next week.
BlackRock (NYSE: BLK), the world’s leading investment firm, is among the applicants, and its approval could significantly impact the market.
Experts believe that Bitcoin’s current momentum could lead to the potential largest bull run in the asset’s history.
Stay tuned for more crypto news and make sure to keep an eye on the market.
