Bitcoin (BTC) has maintained its stellar run that started in early 2023. Bitcoin is up more than 80% so far this year and up around 100% from its bottom in November 2022.
The number of Bitcoin millionaires has increased massively as a result of the digital currency’s recent price increase, which has rekindled interest in the digital asset.

While there are many cryptocurrencies to choose from, Bitcoin is the favorite choice of long-term investors. Investors accumulate Bitcoin without any significant change in the last few years. More than 50,000 new Bitcoin millionaires have been generated in the last couple of months.

This is an admirable pace of growth that points to investors’ interest in digital assets despite the unpleasant bear market of 2022. Around 75,000 crypto wallets hold at least $1 million Bitcoin (i.e. 33 bitcoins), and almost 6,000 addresses hold bitcoins worth more than $10 million.
Is this trend going to continue?
The negative conditions of 2022, which were characterized by excessive inflation and events like the FTX crash, have finally been overcome by the crypto market. That allowed a recent spike in Bitcoin price and the appearance of richer crypto investors.
