⚡️🔎 NEW - After 17 years, Bitcoin is reportedly still held by only about 4.5 to 6% of the world’s population.

Estimates presented by Willy Woo put the number of holders at around 370 to 500 million.
In absolute terms, India would lead the way with about 68 million holders, ahead of the United States with 50 million and China with 33 million.

But the ranking changes completely when looking at the proportion of the population: 17% in Vietnam, 16% in the United Arab Emirates, 15% in Argentina, and 14% in the United States, the Philippines, and Turkey.

These figures should, however, be treated as estimates, since one person can obviously own multiple wallets, while an exchange may consolidate the BTC of millions of customers into just a few addresses.
