Owning at least one Bitcoin places you in a highly exclusive category, with only approximately 800,000 to 850,000 unique holders among a global population of 8 billion. This means that Bitcoin holders represent just 0.01% to 0.02% of the total population. The rarity of Bitcoin ownership is further underscored by the fact that fewer than 0.18% of all cryptocurrency holders possess a complete Bitcoin.
With current Bitcoin prices surpassing $120,000, acquiring a single coin requires substantial financial resources and a strong belief in its value. Despite there being 16 million millionaires worldwide, fewer than 900,000 individuals own 1 BTC or more, making Bitcoin ownership rarer than reaching millionaire status.
The total supply of Bitcoin is capped at 21 million coins, with over 19.8 million already mined, leaving less than 1.2 million coins available. Moreover, a small percentage of addresses control a significant portion of Bitcoin, with the top 100 addresses holding over 58%.
Several barriers to ownership exist, including infrastructural challenges and psychological factors, as many investors perceive Bitcoin as speculative. However, strategies such as dollar-cost averaging can assist individuals in accumulating Bitcoin over time, especially with the emergence of new investment vehicles like Bitcoin ETFs.
