Global crypto wealth has surged to an unprecedented 241,700 crypto millionaires, the Crypto Wealth Report 2025 from Henley & Partners with data from New World Wealth shows — a 40% rise in 12 months.

Bitcoin led the charge, with Bitcoin millionaires up 70% year‑on‑year to 145,100 holders, while the total crypto market valuation reached USD 3.3 trillion in June 2025, a 45% increase from a year earlier. At the top end, 450 centi‑millionaires now hold crypto portfolios of USD 100 million or more (up 38%), and crypto billionaires climbed to 36 (up 29%), growth that analysts link to accelerating institutional adoption and new state‑backed digital currency initiatives.

Industry experts say the boom is reshaping global wealth and mobility. Henley & Partners’ Dominic Volek warns governments and wealth managers they face an asset class untethered to geography, while firms report growing use of bitcoin as collateral and machine‑learning managed institutional allocations. The Henley Crypto Adoption Index highlights jurisdictions competing for mobile crypto wealth — led by Singapore, Hong Kong, the USA, Switzerland and the UAE — noting tax friendliness, regulatory clarity and custody infrastructure as decisive factors.
