Galaxy Research Head of Research Alex Thorn noted in a recent post that despite the growth of institutional and centralized Bitcoin holdings in recent years, more than half of the cryptocurrency’s supply remains in addresses with unknown ownership. He argues that a significant portion, possibly even the majority, of Bitcoin is still held by individuals via self-custody. Per Galaxy Research’s supply attribution map, based on block height 971,382 and an unspent Bitcoin supply of roughly 20.098 million BTC, "unattributed" addresses account for 55.1% (about 11.1 million BTC). Among attributed holdings, exchanges make up 17.9%, ETFs and funds 6.0%, Patoshi (linked to Satoshi Nakamoto’s early mining patterns) 5.6%, followed by custodial institutions, miners, and corporations, among others. Top attributed holders include Coinbase, BlackRock’s IBIT, Binance, Fidelity Custody, and Strategy.
