According to the survey, 0.01% of Bitcoin owns 27% of the total assets.

A new study shows that less than 1% of Bitcoin (BTC) holdings represent more than a third of all BTC in circulation.

The National Bureau of Economic Research, a private non-profit research institute in the United States, claims that 10,000 Bitcoin investors (0.01% of all BTC holdings) hold 5 million BTC, or 18.9 million coins in circulation. 27%.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that 1% of the former held $ 232 billion in BTC.

The study was conducted by Antoinette Schoar, professor of finance at MIT Sloan School of Business, and Igor Makarov, of the London School of Business, to prove that Bitcoin is not a distribution to be left as people think.

“He was 14,” Schoar said.

According to a Wall Street Journal report, the share of BTC held by major BTC holders exceeds the US dollar held by wealthier US households. According to data released by the US government, the report notes that 1% of households in the US own up to a third of their wealth.

This new announcement may seem like a disappointment to the cryptocurrency community, as some of the biggest supporters have backed the move as one of Bitcoin's most important networks.

According to Mati Greenspan, founder of quantum commerce, most of the BTC devices in circulation are managed by an anonymous Bitcoin developer, Satoshi Nakamoto. “Only BTC held by Satoshi Nakamoto is more than 5%,” Greenspan told Cointelegraph.

"Over time, the founders of Bitcoin will become more and more justified. This is often the difference in the situation with fiat money."

It should be noted that most of the circulating supply of BTC is obviously not controlled by anyone and will be gone forever. About 4 million BTC have been taken out of circulation due to lack of access, according to data from cryptocurrency insurance company Coincover.
