According to CryptoRank’s X post, the Binance cold wallet with 248,598 BTC holds the most Bitcoins in a single wallet. The wallet’s estimated Bitcoin value is $24.33 billion, representing 1.26% of the total Bitcoin supply. In fact, CryptoRank found two Binance Cold Wallets among the richest Bitcoin wallets. The second Binance Cold Wallet ranks fourth and holds 102,552 BTC, equivalent to $10.03 billion, or 0.52% of Bitcoin’s total supply.

Interestingly, of the Bitcoin wallets that CryptoRank listed, four were on centralized exchanges like Binance, Bitfinex, and Robinhood. Two of the wallets held Bitcoins seized by the U.S. government, one belonged to a Mt. Gox hacker, while Tether Bitcoin reserves made up the other known wallet. But two of the top richest Bitcoin wallets remained unknown, according to CryptoRank’s report.

The top 10 richest Bitcoin wallets account for 5.27% of Bitcoin’s total supply. Although the value of these holdings is significantly high, it does not determine the overall direction of the Bitcoin market. This highlights the decentralized nature of the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Despite this, Bitcoin traders and investors monitor the activities of these wallets and other accounts holding significant BTC values. Events involving such accounts could influence the crypto market sentiment at times and drive the actions of retail investors. For example, many crypto traders are concerned about rumors that the Joe Biden administration will sell off the U.S. government’s crypto holdings soon.
