About
What it answers, and for whom.
The Bitcoin addresses that hold the most BTC are listed here by balance, read from the UTXO set at a pinned block, with when each first received coins, when it last spent, how its balance changed over 7 and 30 days and, where a public source supports it, who controls it.
An address is not a person. The largest addresses are mostly exchange cold wallets and custodians holding coins for many customers, and one owner can spread coins over many addresses. The table shows each address as it is and labels it only from published reserve lists, court records and similar sources, so it is a list of balances, not of wealth.
Sort by balance or by recent change and filter by label or by address type. Opening a row shows the unspent outputs that make up its balance and the block they were read at.
Method
How it will be measured.
Every figure will be read at a block, kept with its source and its exact read, and open a receipt anyone can re-check.
How receipts work →- Balances are the sum of unspent outputs per address, that is per output script, in the UTXO set at the day's last block, kept in satoshis.
- First seen is the block in which an address first received an output; last spent is the block of its most recent spend, both read from the block history.
- Changes over 7 and 30 days compare each balance with the same address at the day-end blocks 7 and 30 days earlier.
- Labels come only from the address label registry, each with its public source, such as an exchange's published reserve addresses or a court filing.
- Pay-to-public-key outputs, which have no address of their own, are listed under their public key and marked as such.

Questions
Questions people ask.
Who owns the richest Bitcoin address?
Usually an exchange or a custodian, holding coins in cold storage for its customers. The table shows a label only when a public source supports it, such as the exchange's own published reserve addresses; every other address is unlabelled.
How much bitcoin does the largest address hold?
The table's first row shows it, read from the UTXO set at the day's last block. The balance changes whenever that address receives or spends coins, and the row's 7-day and 30-day changes show how recently it moved.
Does the Bitcoin rich list show the richest people?
No. Addresses are not identities: one exchange address can hold coins for many customers, and a wealthy holder can spread coins across many addresses that no rule ties together reliably. The list ranks balances, not owners.
Why do some top Bitcoin addresses never move?
Some are cold wallets that receive deposits and rarely spend; others belong to early holders, or to coins whose keys may be lost. The last-spent column shows when each address last moved coins out, which the chain records exactly.
- UTXO
- An unspent transaction output: an amount of bitcoin locked to a script that has not been spent yet. An address's balance is the sum of its UTXOs.
- Cold wallet
- An address whose keys are kept offline, used by exchanges and custodians to store most of the coins they hold.
- Script type
- The form of an output's locking script, such as P2PKH, P2SH, P2WPKH, P2WSH or P2TR, which also sets the address format.
