Bitcoin Millionaires Surge By 111% Over The Past Year Amid Crypto Bull Run: Report
A new report from New World Wealth and Henley & Partners shows a significant increase in cryptocurrency wealth over the past year, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) leading the charge.
《新世界財富》和亨利合作伙伴的一份新報告顯示，過去一年中加密貨幣財富大幅增長，比特幣（CRYPTO: BTC）引領潮流。
What Happened: According to the report, as of June 30, 2024, the total number of crypto millionaires reached 172,300, a 95% increase from the previous year. Millionaires owning Bitcoin alone rose to 85,400, up 111%. Crypto centi-millionaires, those with holdings of $100 million or more, grew to 325, a 79% increase.
報道稱，截至2024年6月30日，加密百萬富翁總數達到172,300人，較去年增長95%。僅擁有比特幣的百萬富翁數量增至85,400人，增長111%。擁有$10000萬或以上資產的加密百萬富翁數量增至325人，增長79%。
The number of crypto billionaires rose to 28, up 27% year-over-year.
加密貨幣億萬富翁人數增至28人，同比增長27%。
The total market value of all cryptocurrencies hit $2.3 trillion, an 89% increase, with Bitcoin accounting for $1.2 trillion of that value.
所有加密貨幣的總市值達到$2.3萬億，增長89%，其中比特幣佔據$1.2萬億市值。
The report also notes that the total number of crypto users worldwide reached 560 million, a 32% increase from the previous year.
全球加密貨幣用戶總數達到5.6億，比上年增長32%。
According to Henley & Partners, the introduction of crypto ETFs in major financial markets, such as Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (BATS:FBTC), iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:IBIT), Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF (NYSE:GBTC) has been a key driver of this rapid growth in crypto wealth, leading to a significant influx of institutional capital. Dominic Volek, the firm's Group Head of Private Clients, noted that the cryptocurrency landscape of 2024 bears little resemblance to its predecessors, with Bitcoin's rise to over $73,000 in March setting a new all-time high.
亨利合作伙伴表示，加密貨幣ETF在主要金融市場的推出，比如富達智選比特幣基金（BATS:FBTC）、iShares比特幣信託ETF（NASDAQ:IBIT）、Grayscale比特幣信託ETF（NYSE:GBTC），是加密貨幣財富快速增長的關鍵推動力，吸引了大量機構資本流入。該公司私人客戶集團負責人Dominic Volek指出，2024年的加密貨幣格局與以往完全不同，比特幣在3月份突破7.3萬美元創造了新的歷史新高。
The report also points out the growing interest among crypto-wealthy individuals in alternative residence and citizenship options, with Henley & Partners observing a significant uptick in such clients in 2024, leading to the unveiling of its second annual Henley Crypto Adoption Index.
報告還指出，加密貨幣富豪對另類住所和公民身份選擇的興趣日益增長。亨利合作伙伴在2024年觀察到此類客戶數量大幅增加，併發布了第二屆亨利加密貨幣採用指數。
Why It Matters: The surge in Bitcoin billionaires can be attributed to a few key factors. In April 2024, Benzinga reported that the distribution of Bitcoin holders, including large holders known as whales, can significantly influence the price of Bitcoin. In June, Robert Kiyosaki, author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," stated that Bitcoin is the simplest path to becoming a millionaire.
比特幣億萬富翁的激增可以歸因於幾個關鍵因素。2024年4月，Benzinga報道稱，比特幣持有者的分佈，包括被稱爲「鯨魚」的大持有者，可以顯著影響比特幣的價格。6月份，《富爸爸，窮爸爸》的作者羅伯特·清崎表示，比特幣是成爲百萬富翁的最簡單途徑。
Furthermore, in August, Michael Saylor, co-founder of MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR), reaffirmed his conviction in Bitcoin, disclosing his ownership of nearly $1 billion in the leading cryptocurrency.
此外，MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR) 的聯合創始人邁克爾·塞勒在八月份進一步確認了他對比特幣的信心，披露他擁有近10億美元的領先數字貨幣。
