and nearly half of them (40,500) made the bulk of their cryptocurrency gains through investing in bitcoin.

This means that there are about 40,000 people in the world who hold bitcoin and are now millionaires.

The number of crypto millionaires has been growing rapidly in recent years,

as the price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has skyrocketed. In 2017, there were only about 10,000 crypto millionaires.

[{"selector":"#anim-2a75baca-e76a-4446-bf92-e61f030d43c0 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-19.050218152809272%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a9173e42-6b6e-4a7c-bfd5-0bd1b93b7a51","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-267b651e-7596-456f-8727-187d10eec228","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

But by 2021, that number had grown to over 50,000. And in 2022, it is estimated to have grown to over 88,000.

[{"selector":"#anim-55ef2823-b416-40a8-8e9b-802f9570b8a5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-16.194581075658206%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a32622a1-265b-4f35-8788-2c19874f6281","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cb347147-e461-41a6-b1cf-238012e6d905","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Of course, the number of crypto millionaires is constantly changing, as the price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies fluctuates.

[{"selector":"#anim-33ccaaa9-bc4b-4186-989c-cabf4b7d5dba [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-20.569620074582158%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bd05d18b-c88a-4160-bd24-8fc724ed4a2d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-100%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8466be7b-7693-4038-bb1d-536b8e3b47e8","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(-180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

So it is possible that the number of crypto millionaires could be even higher or lower than 88,200.

But it is clear that there are a growing number of people who have become millionaires through investing in cryptocurrencies.

It is important to note that not all crypto millionaires are created equal.

Some of them have made their fortunes by investing a large amount of money into bitcoin early on, when the price was still relatively low.

Others have made their fortunes by trading cryptocurrencies, taking advantage of short-term price fluctuations.

And still others have made their fortunes by mining bitcoin, using computer hardware to solve complex mathematical problems in order to earn bitcoin rewards.

No matter how they made their money, the crypto millionaires are a reminder of the potential for high rewards that investing in cryptocurrencies can offer.

However, it is important to remember that cryptocurrencies are a volatile asset class, and the price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can go up and down dramatically.

So anyone who is considering investing in cryptocurrencies should do their research and understand the risks involved.
