Bitcoin ownership is estimated by on-chain analyst Willy Woo to be around 5% of the world's population, translating to roughly 370 million to 500 million people. India leads among countries with approximately 68 million Bitcoin holders, making up 4.6% of its population and the highest total among the 25 countries listed. The United States follows in second place with an estimated 50 million holders, while China ranks third with 33 million.
