Knowing who has the biggest wallet or the wallet with the most coins is actually worthless...

People do not store all their coins in 1 wallet.... clever people distribute their coins over several wallets .... in an attempt to hide the amount of coins they own. (One big wallet will draw too much attention)

The wallets out there with a lot of coins are mostly cold storage for casinos or wallet providers or exchanges and everyone know these coins are unreachable.  Wink   (The hackers are hunting for the active wallets that are not in cold storage)  Roll Eyes

Maybe you can see it on the blockchain. But you can't know who it belongs to. We never know which wallet satoshi is. But it is a program to protect the privacy of the owner of the asset from others. We can

1. Please try to write complete sentences next time.
2. According to BitInfoCharts, 34xp4vRoCGJym3xR7yCVPFHoCNxv4Twseo belongs to Binance (it's Binance's cold wallet); so the owner is actually known.

Keep in mind that Bitcoin is only pseudo-anonymous...

It is easy to determine the richest Bitcoin address and it is a little difficult to determine that you link the addresses, but it is impossible to predict who owns the largest number of bitcoins because he may have addresses that no one knows.
In general, with the days and more tools that analyze the blockchain, we may be able to do that, but so far it all remains speculation.
No one knows how many total coins Satoshi owns, but it will be less than a million at worst, which I don't think is the world's richest.

Thank all for your replies.

The biggest wallet holds 288,126.20 BTC
address:
34xp4vRoCGJym3xR7yCVPFHoCNxv4Twseo

No. That's an address, not a wallet. A wallet can contain multiple addresses, hence there's a pretty good chance that the fattest wallet is bigger than the biggest address.
You can see here that even this address is (probably) part of a wallet with more addresses.

Witch Bitcoin Wallet is the Biggest?

Satoshi Nakamoto?

where I can Find it?

I am always fascinated with those wallet addresses in a way that these addresses are owned by people and these people still remain anonymous until now. I am actually thinking that these addresses might be the ones that are no longer active that in a way there is already no way for the owners to access them I guess. If there is no activity for such a long time then we can assume that the owners are either dead or no longer has access to these addresses.

The correct question to ask maybe is which is the biggest bitcoin address since nowadays people know they can have many addresses in a wallet. I myself have a few wallets and in my main one even is a few addresses. I know people say consolidate and I do that,,, but I also prefer not to keep everything on one address.

Which brings me to one question I just thought of,,, is there a way to identify addresses belonging to the same wallet?

Probably exchanges hodl the biggest bitcoin as they need it for operation on the market. But you can find such wallet by whales but of course their owner could be unknown, since its quite dangerous to publicize some wallet or labeled it as yours since you can be easily targeted  by many hackers or someone that can exploit your fund through phishing.

This doesn't prove who owns the most bitcoins, but just adds an assumption that the US government may have lots.
Also having/owning something is different than law enforcement seizing something. When the government seizes anything valuable such as assets or bitcoin they won't be "holding" that asset, they just remain in its possession until the court reaches a verdict then they must auction it. Most of the coins mentioned in that article must already be auctioned.

This shows the addresses with the most bitcoins.

This is an outdated list of the addresses with the most bitcoins.

This doesn't prove who owns the most bitcoins, but just adds an assumption that the US government may have lots.

This also lacks the answer to the title.



A little separation seems desired. A Bitcoin wallet is defined a list of keys (usually unencrypted) where you can derive your addresses and spend from. An address is essentially the invoice they'll fund you to. Once we spend bitcoins and lock them in a way to be spendable only from the owner of the address, we announce the transaction publicly and therefore, everyone can calculate the amount of coins one address may have.

But, the amount of coins the wallet of a person holds remains unknown. You may have given me your invoice (which is your address), but that's all I know. So, you shouldn't assume the wealth of a person based on the bitcoins they own in ONE address. One may have 1,000,000 BTC in 1,000,000 addresses, but in one wallet. We couldn't understand if they're that rich.

Satoshi nakamoto is not a wallet, rather it is the pseudonymous person or persons who created Bitcoin. If you are looking for wallets to make use of, there are so many wallet that you can use, such as the Coinbase wallet or Trust wallet that is owned by Binance. And when you are selecting a wallet to make use of their chains you have to consider, somewhere less are centralized and summer decentralized.

You have to know the one that fits in well for you. Like the Coinbase wallet is controlled in a way and you have to verify your identity to an extent to be able to make use of it, and that’s the same thing with other ones that are centralized. Then as for wallets that are decentralized such as Exodus and Trust, you don’t have to make any form of verification.

Does it seem you are asking about what wallet is mostly used?

If not, then the above post is what you looking for but if yes and I'm right that you are looking for a wallet the mostly used then we don't know exactly what wallet is mostly used.

However, I believe most of the users use Electrum and fewer people use Bitcoin core because Bitcoin needs to download the whole blockchain to be able to use it normally and Electrum is a lite weight version of Bitcoin core that doesn't need to download the whole blockchain.

Adding this thread below for a rich list if this is what you looking for
