Bitcoin, as the king of the Crypto Assets field, is often undervalued in terms of its value and scarcity. Many people feel that the price of Bitcoin is unaffordable, but in reality, the number of people who can fully own 1 coin is extremely rare worldwide.



According to relevant statistics, by mid-2025, the global population ratio of individuals who truly own one or more Bitcoins is expected to be less than 0.2%. In other words, among 1000 people, only 1-2 may become true "whole coin holders". This data highlights the essence of Bitcoin as a scarce asset.

Currently, the price of Bitcoin has surpassed the $110,000 mark. For ordinary investors, the capital threshold to accumulate 1 Bitcoin is indeed not low. Some may wait for the price to drop before entering the market, but it is important to note that the total supply of Bitcoin is capped at 21 million coins. Nearly 19.8 million have been mined, while the actual circulating supply is even lower due to factors like lock-ups, holdings by large investors, and even losses.

It is worth noting that the top 100 Bitcoin addresses control more than half of the Bitcoin. This means that the number of Bitcoin that are truly in free circulation is quite limited. Most individual investors hold less than 0.01 Bit, which accounts for a very small proportion of the entire ecosystem.

However, this does not mean that small holdings have no value. For the vast majority of people, even if they cannot reach the threshold of 1 Bitcoin, holding a portion of Bitcoin is still a way to participate in this revolutionary technology and potential financial transformation. As time goes on, the difficulty of obtaining a whole Bitcoin may further increase, which also highlights the importance of early participation.

Whether holding a whole or a partial amount, Bitcoin, as a scarce asset in the digital age, has value potential and influence that deserve our continuous attention and consideration.

The orbital acceleration has exceeded the upper limit of the Bollinger Bands and is about to reach the atmosphere.

Is it just a hundred thousand dollars? That's fine.

On-chain data has explained everything. Hoarding coins is the only correct answer.
