Bitcoin Defies Market Conditions, Doubles Number of Millionaires in 2023
Bitcoin has continued to impress in 2023, gaining over 80% year to date and leading to a surge in value.
This has resulted in a doubling of Bitcoin millionaires, with over 50,000 new millionaires having emerged just halfway through April. The number of Bitcoin millionaire addresses has increased by 187% from January 5 to April 14, reaching 80,659. BitInfoCharts.com shows that 74,912 addresses hold Bitcoin balances of over $1 million, and 5,747 addresses hold BTC worth over $10 million.
The surge of new Bitcoin millionaires results from Bitcoin’s ability to overcome the bearish conditions of 2022, which were characterized by high inflation and events like the FTX collapse. Despite the recent banking crisis and uncertainties surrounding Binance, Bitcoin has maintained its upward trajectory, peaking at $31,000.
As a result, it appears that the crypto market is still gaining momentum, and Bitcoin remains a preferred option for investors looking to diversify their portfolios and benefit from the potential of digital assets.
