Bitcoin Ownership Shifts: Major Holders Dominate Market

The Bitcoin landscape has undergone a significant transformation in recent years, with the rise of strategic accumulators who have seized opportunities to bolster their positions amidst market volatility.

According to Arkham Intelligence's latest data, the top Bitcoin holders in 2026 include Satoshi Nakamoto, Coinbase, BlackRock, Binance, and Fidelity Custody. These entities collectively control a significant proportion of the cryptocurrency, with estimated holdings ranging from hundreds of thousands to over a million Bitcoins.

The U.S. government has also emerged as a major player in the Bitcoin market, with nearly 328,000 BTC seized from various illicit activities. The question on everyone's mind is what will be done with this vast quantity of Bitcoin, and how it will impact the market.
