As a seasoned researcher with extensive experience in the cryptocurrency market and blockchain analysis, I find the recent data on the top 100 “dustiest” Bitcoin addresses intriguing. With over $88 million collectively held, these addresses have processed over $139 million in transactions since January 2010.
As a researcher studying the Bitcoin network, I’ve discovered that approximately 100 addresses with the highest amount of accumulated dust – small, unclaimed bitcoins – have amassed over 530 bitcoins since January 2023. Currently, these addresses hold more than $88 million worth of bitcoin collectively, representing roughly 1,380 bitcoins in total.
Based on BitInfoCharts’ findings, a total of $139 million worth of transactions have been processed by these addresses since January 2010. It’s noteworthy that several small addresses amongst them are quite new. Intriguingly, the top ten addresses received their initial transaction post March 2023, and the newest top hundred addresses have only existed for a mere five months.
Among the given dusty wallet addresses, the one with the largest balance is linked to Huobi crypto exchange, containing approximately 12.46 Bitcoins, equivalent to roughly $792,000. This specific address has been involved in more than 1.59 million transactions, accounting for about 0.77% of all Bitcoin transactions ever made.
Approximately 78 addresses are associated with F2Pool, containing roughly 2.47 Bitcoins, which is equivalent to around $172,737. The remaining addresses are assumed to represent a mix of individual retail and institutional investors.
Based on BitInfoCharts’ data, about 82 out of the top 100 bitcoin addresses with the highest amount of inactivity were unmoved during the year 2024. At the same time, the total count of Bitcoin wallets grew by around 5.5%, amounting to roughly 1.3 billion, and nearly 44 million of these wallets held a non-zero balance.
The number of active Bitcoin addresses continues to grow steadily, indicating growing trust in the Bitcoin network and the larger crypto market. This upward trend bodes well for Bitcoin’s future direction and potential for wider acceptance.
