From January to June, the number of bitcoins with assets worth more than $ 1 million increased by 26,758 addresses, from 155,569 at the beginning of the year to 182,327 by the beginning of July, Henley & Partners platform analysts said.

The increase in the number of bitcoin millionaires reflects the increased interest in digital assets among private and corporate investors due to a significant rise in price of the first cryptocurrency, analysts explained. Since the beginning of the year, Bitcoin has added about 60%in price, reaching about $ 109,000 by the end of June.

The main factor in Henley & Partners called an increase in corporate investment volumes and positive changes with the regulation of the US cryptocurrency market, such as a decree on the creation of a crypto -cutter issued by President Donald Trump in March. In addition, the support of Bitcoin-ETF from American hedge funds is affected, which began to relate to bitcoin as a viable asset suitable for diversification of the investment portfolio and risk hedging.

Henley & Partners analysts and their colleagues from other organizations believe that the first cryptocurrency continues to strengthen their position as a means of maintaining value, competing with traditional assets like gold. For example, the Executive Director of BlackRock Larry Fink said that “Bitcoin is becoming a digital analogue of gold, attracting capital in the conditions of instability.”
