Since Bitcoin’s launch, the number of addresses holding more than 0.1 BTC has 
climbed steadily through every market cycle, until now. Data shows that 
addresses in this cohort haven’t grown at all over the past two years, 
breaking a trend that held for more than a decade. The stagnation indicates a 
change in how smaller and mid-sized investors engage with Bitcoin, even as 
broader institutional activity in the market continues to rise. Small Holder 
Participation Reaches A Standstill The 0.1 BTC threshold has historically 
represented an important milestone for retail holders, large enough to signal 
commitment but small enough to remain widely attainable. For more than a 
decade, wallets crossing that line grew year after year, even during drawdowns 
when long-term buyers were accumulating quietly. Related Reading: The $13.5 
Billion Liquidity Injection That Could Send Bitcoin And Crypto Prices Flying 
That pattern is no longer intact. The number of addresses with more than 0.1 
BTC has flattened since 2023 and is showing no signs of returning to its 
previous trajectory. Particularly, data from the on-chain analytics platform 
Santiment shows that the number of these addresses has stalled at around 4.44 
million for the past year. This suggests that fewer new participants are 
choosing to build self-custodied Bitcoin positions at this level. The 
stagnation becomes more notable considering Bitcoin’s rising mainstream 
visibility and repeated pushes toward new all-time highs this year. In earlier 
cycles, such conditions have led to a surge in retail accumulation. This time, 
the address count has stayed frozen, and this means retail addresses holding 
Bitcoin might actually be plateauing. How Bitcoin’s Holder Base Is Changing 
Although on-chain data points to a slowdown in the growth of overall Bitcoin 
addresses holding more than 0.1 BTC, it doesn’t necessarily signal a decline 
in overall adoption. For many market participants, Bitcoin exposure now 
happens entirely off-chain. Related Reading: Confirming The Bitcoin Price 
Direction: Analyst Reveals What You Should Look Out For Larger investor 
cohorts, from high-net-worth individuals to funds and corporate entities, are 
buying huge amounts of Bitcoin. For instance, Santiment data shows that large 
Bitcoin holders controlling more than 100 BTC have increased their balances 
throughout 2024 and 2025, even as smaller address cohorts have stalled. At the 
same time, more investors are choosing to access Bitcoin through custodial 
avenues instead of managing their own wallets. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have become 
one of the most important gateways for new BTC exposure. In the US alone, Spot 
Bitcoin ETFs now control almost $120 billion worth of Bitcoin, with 
BlackRock’s IBIT consistently recording the strongest demand. Together, these 
developments point to a new phase in Bitcoin’s development. What was once 
dominated by individual self-custodied users is now increasingly shaped by 
institutions, ETFs, funds, and professionally managed capital. Therefore, the 
numbers from on-chain wallet metrics reflect a smaller portion of the actual 
user base. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com
