Kuala lumpur: The ranks of crypto millionaires have surged to an unprecedented 241,700 individuals worldwide, according to the newly released Crypto Wealth Report 2025 by international residence and citizenship advisory specialists Henley and Partners. That’s a remarkable 40% increase in just 12 months, fueled by a dramatic surge in Bitcoin millionaires – up 70% year-on-year to 145,100 holders – and a booming total market valuation of USD 3.3 trillion as of June 2025, a 45% jump from a year previously.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, at the apex of the crypto wealth pyramid, the number of ultra-wealthy individuals is rising sharply: 450 centi-millionaires now control crypto portfolios worth USD 100 million or more, up 38% since last year, while the number of crypto billionaires has climbed to 36, an increase of 29%. This significant growth coincides with a watershed year for institutional adoption, highlighted by the first-ever cryptocurrencies launched by a sitting US President and First Lady.
