i don't like to read too much into these metrics---same with total number of addresses or total number of blockchain.info wallets. these stats can be easily gamed. we can't actually tell how many "people" control those addresses. if one bitcoin whale were so inclined, he could make himself look like many thousands of "bitcoinaires". just sayin!

I own more than 1 Bitcoin, yet I never had 1 Bitcoin or more in one address. I'm currently consolidating my coins, but I don't want to put everything into one address, for privacy and security reasons. And since I plan to sell in batches in the future, it makes no big difference if my coins are fully consolidated or not, as long as I don't use more than one input.

Wealthier people can own multiple addresses with at least 1 Bitcoin, so this simple observation isn't very informative. It would be much better to get a proper survey, but I don't think many people would like to talk about their holding to strangers.

Did you even read OP? He's saying that each of these addresses contains 1 BTC in it, at no point does he say that a single person owns all of these addresses.

Fun fact, owning 1 BTC is equivalent to owning around 700 acres of land in terms of rarity.

This may not really mean it's 744,066 persons that own this, it may have been scattered across wallets by same several owners. But I think the people having 1BTC is more the quoted figure above. The Chinese is a massive population not tyo talk of the entire Asia continent.

first of all a tweet from a random person is barely a reliable source to post it here as the link to back up what you said. try using the direct websites that do these kinds of count and post stats such as bitinfocharts.com.

secondly, i am with figment on this one. these stats are very unreliable. specially since the price is rising and those with larger amounts of bitcoin have been spreading them among multiple addresses for many reasons including not wanting to draw attention to themselves.
the only stats that can be reliable to some extent is stats coming from centralized services for example the number of accounts Coinbase has and how much they own on average. or the number of payments that BitPay processes per day,...

Interesting numbers, but I don't know how reliable this information it. Random twitter user posted chart without any reference from where he took this information.
And even if it's correct number, it's pretty much meaningless stats which don't shows how many people hold more than 1 BTC. Many of these address belongs to exchanges, gambling websites and other crypto services. Also, maybe one person hold 50 BTC (insert number that you like), but he may have divided into multiple addresses. Personally, I also currently don't hold more than 1 Bitcoin in single address.

I honestly don't even know how many addresses I own with coins in them. I decided long ago that it's better to spread them out instead of holding everything in just one or two addresses. I have also funded some physical coins in the last 12 months, which helps inflate these statistics as well. Similarly, more people get wiser and choose to spread out their holdings.

Coinbase not that long ago did that too, which means that without any new people entering the world of crypto, tens of thousands of addresses have been created with at least a whole coin as balance. News outlets will sell you the story as there being more users entering crypto, but that's largely bs.

Doesn't mean anything at all. And we can't even deduce if those the owner of those addresses have still full control of the privatekey. And as a rule of thumb, everyone should spread their bitcoin throughout several addresses so that you will remain at least (psuedo) anonymous.

So this statistics is meaningless, and there could be more investors holding at least 1 BTC growing everyday.

That's not a mystery. Not everyone is rich. Some guys only play a bit around with BTC.
Other, same me has dozens of wallets with small amounts from exchange or payback.

Lol a single individual can own even atleast 100 addresses or even 1000 so what’s the difference on that?

Nothing’s interesting because whales can provide how many wallets they wanted to portray

Exactly that’s what I’m saying here mate.
