Shrimp Addresses (<1 BTC)

How many separate addresses hold less than 1 ₿ — by far the largest group. A count of addresses, not people.

The number of addresses whose current balance is **below** 1 ₿, counted fresh each day.

This is the widest measure of small-scale ownership and it grows almost continuously. For example, a rise from 52 million to 55 million addresses over a year suggests many new small wallets appeared — but an ordinary wallet app creates a fresh address for every single payment, so the count climbs even without new users.

Read the direction over months and **never** treat the number as a headcount of people.

Each day **our own Bitcoin node** counts every address holding less than 1 ₿.

It counts addresses, not people, and it is heavily padded by near-worthless leftovers worth a few cents and by the many small addresses exchanges use internally, so the level means little and **only** the trend is useful. Our node currently shows history from 2023 and fills in earlier years as it finishes recounting the blockchain from the first block.
