Bitcoin has lately been undergoing intense pressure. This price pressure is weighing on the asset, triggering a panic sell-off, where investors seem to be reprioritizing their portfolios to include less crypto and more safe haven assets. While this has been the trend as of late, there are certain wallets, whales, and entities that have kept their bitcoin exposure intact, exuding immense patience, all while using this opportunity to buy more bitcoin. Here’s the new rich list of Bitcoin billionaires of 2026.

Bitcoin Rich List 2026: Updated

Bitcoin price has always been a source of speculation and volatility. The token is down significantly from its usual high of $120K, hovering at $69K, holding its ground strong and steady. In the middle of this, Arkham has presented a new list, naming entities who own the most Bitcoin in 2026.

The top spot of this list goes straight to Santoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous founder of Bitcoin, possessing nearly 1096 million BTC coins. Its current valuation stands at nearly $75B.

The second spot goes to Coinbase with 993K Bitcoin, followed by BlackRock at third position, holding 762K coins at present. In addition to this, Binance is the fourth contender of this race, holding nearly 661K coins in its possession. Fidelity Custody is fifth on the list, possessing nearly 448K BTC coins.

Interestingly, Strategy is the sixth-largest BTC holder at present, holding nearly 415K BTC coins. However, Arkham points out how strategy controls 715K coins, but some of its BTC is tied to Fidelity Custody on-chain due to their omnibus custodial method.

What About The US Government?

Arkham data also reveals significant Bitcoin holdings held by the US government. Per the data, the US government holds nearly 328K BTC coins. These BTC coins have been seized from various criminal organizations, as Arkham clearly mentions.

“The United States takes the top position with a wallet size of 328k BTC. This Bitcoin was recovered by the FBI from both the Bitfinex hack and seized from the Silk Road marketplace and Silk Road hacker James Zhong. More recently, the U.S. government acquired 127K BTC from the LuBian Hacker address.”
