1. Binance Cold WalletHoldings: 248,598BTC Value: $16.4 billionAddress: 34xp4vRoCGJym3xR7yCVPFHoCNxv4TwseoThe largest Bitcoin holder is the wallet controlled by the Binance cryptocurrency exchange. Binance is the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume and number of users, so it’s no surprise that it has the world’s largest Bitcoin wallet. At the time of writing, the wallet holds 248,598 BTC, which is over 1.2% of all Bitcoin in circulation. It has been active since October 2018. As a cold wallet, the wallet is used to store Binance customers' Bitcoin for the long term. The wallet rarely makes outgoing transactions - at the time of writing, the last outgoing Bitcoin transaction from the wallet was about 8 months ago. However, when the wallet does send Bitcoin, the amounts are quite substantial, with one as much as 21,600 BTC.2.

Founded in 2012, Bitfinex remains a mainstay in the cryptocurrency exchange industry despite often being the subject of controversy, such as the 2016 hack and criticism of Bitfinex’s USDT stablecoin. This wallet is in a similar situation to the number one cold wallet on our list, Binance. It rarely sends any Bitcoin, and when it does, the transaction amounts are large. Occasionally, the wallet receives large transfers — for example, it received a massive 50,000 BTC transaction in February 2020.3.
