Whale Addresses (1k–10k BTC)

How many separate addresses hold between 1,000 and 10,000 ₿. This is a count of addresses — not coins, and not people.

The number of addresses whose current balance is at least 1,000 ₿ and under 10,000 ₿, counted fresh each day.

Compare this with Whale Supply to see whether the average whale is getting bigger or smaller. For example, if the count rises from 1,600 to 1,700 while the coins in that band stay flat, the same pile is being split across more addresses — the tier is fragmenting rather than growing.

A **falling** count with **rising** coins means the opposite: fewer, fatter addresses.

Each day **our own Bitcoin node** counts every address holding at least 1,000 ₿ and less than 10,000 ₿.

This counts addresses, not people or companies: one owner can hold many addresses, and coins crossing a band boundary change the count without anything being bought or sold.
