The Top 100 Holders of Crypto

‍

In this article, we present the top 100 Arkham entities based on the value of their confirmed on-chain holdings in US dollars. An Arkham entity is a collection of crypto addresses that have been confirmed (by Arkham) to be controlled by the same individual or institution (like an exchange, DeFi protocol, or corporation). These are not the top 100 individual crypto addresses.

The table has three columns: the name of the entity (e.g. Binance), a link to their entity page on the Arkham Intel Platform (which is where the data has been sourced from), and the value of the entity's holdings.

Dollar holdings are correct as of 30th March 2026.

Before showing the full table of the top 100 Arkham entities, below is an extract from the table showing the top 10 entities and what category of entity they fall under.

Top 10 crypto holders

1. Binance (Exchange): $136B

2. Coinbase (Exchange): $88B

3. Satoshi Nakamoto (Creator): $72B

8. Aave (DeFi protocol): $22B

9. Robinhood (Exchange): $20B

10. Upbit (Exchange): $20B

*Strategy: If you click through to Strategy's Arkham entity page, you will see a lower figure than the $50B listed here. This is because Arkham has currently identified and verified 83% of Strategy's on-chain BTC, and because approximately 184K of Strategy's BTC is held by Fidelity Custody.

**Fidelity Custody: If you click through to Fidelity Custody's Arkham entity page, you will see a higher figure. Their Arkham profile includes the approximately 184K BTC they hold on behalf of Strategy. We have deducted the value of those holdings from Fidelity's total on this list to accurately reflect ownership and avoid double-counting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Typically, what are the biggest crypto entities?

‍The biggest crypto entities are typically a mix of centralized exchanges (Binance and Coinbase), asset managers (BlackRock), venture capital firms, DeFi protocols (like Aave or Lido), and a few early individual investors often referred to as "whales."

2. What is a whale?

‍A whale is an individual or entity that holds a large amount of a specific cryptocurrency. Whales are capable of moving the market when they buy or sell a token.

3. Why look at the top entities rather than individual addresses?

‍Large holders have multiple crypto addresses for security and technological reasons. By grouping the associated wallets into an entity, we provide a more complete picture of an institution or individual's total holdings.

4. How are the USD holdings of these crypto holders calculated?

‍The USD holdings are calculated by taking all the token holdings held across an entity's known addresses and multiplying them by their US dollar market price on a specific date (in this case, March 30th, 2026).
