It will be hard to get the number of people that hold bitcoin because you need all addresses to be linked to each other and then to the individual which is not easily possible because of the anonymous nature of bitcoin. The real right answer is how many addresses actually holds bitcoin or sats. Currently we have around 51,723,705 funded addresses according to LoyceV stats. This can be the only metric you can get because even chainalysis cannot link all addresses together.

The total number of Bitcoin created was 21 millions and as it is, I don't think anyone knows how many Bitcoin is left to mine and how many have been mined.

One can actually know the know the number of bitcoin already mined and the number left to mine. According to coinmarketcap a total of 19.588 million bitcoin is already in supply with less than 1.412 million left to mine since the total number to be mine isn’t exactly 21 million. That’s like around 95% already mined.

ignoring CEX database balance users

there are 152million UTXO's meaning less than 152m actually hold parts of actual btc
(less than due to fact a person can own more then one utxo)

Op this will be an rhetorical question because I don't think anyone can know that metric system you are bringing. Even in my location I can't tell. The total number of Bitcoin created was 21 millions and as it is, I don't think anyone knows how many Bitcoin is left to mine and how many have been mined. And 95% of users here in the forum hold Bitcoin and the remaining is just for newbies and those who don't have enough money to invest yet.

But in 2022 someone created a thread that has the total number of Bitcoin whales and other holders of Bitcoin but it was not all but few.

My guesstimate would be assuming that an average user has coins in 5 different addresses, so just divide by that the current number of traanctions with sufficient balance, like at least $100. That's like 5-20 million users. But then there are also people who store their coins on exchange, and some don't even have a wallet and store all their coinse there. But you are getting the idea - there are tens of millions of users.

Sometimes it gets me weird seeing people asking this kind of questions knowing too well there will be no good answer or very hard to guess and give accurate results because there are lots of individual with not less than 3 to 5 bitcoin addresses especially those who uses those wallet that permit change of address like electrum. One can change address while doing transaction, at the point of this lots of addresses could be recorded making it too hard to sum up all total user that is having address.

Is there some metric or study somewhere that could let us know how many individuals (individual humans) currently hold Bitcoin as an asset? Are there any metrics that could approximate the number? Estimate change over time?

I would think this would be a key metric in understanding the market.

No one knows for sure how many bitcoin holders there are - but so far there are millions of addresses that have bitcoin in them. You can check it here to see from largest to smallest amount of bitcoin.

It doesn't matter how many holders there are - your profits are yours, and so are your losses.

Ask yourself. How many Bitcoin addresses do you have? I believe I have generated more than 100 Bitcoin addresses. And most of them are used, and a few are blanked. So how could we assume how many humans are Bitcoin holders? There is absolutely no way to predict or identify real human holders. A merchant uses a lot of addresses on the payment gateway, but it's a human or company. Any tool can't identify the address owner; hence, it's impossible to count how many humans are holding Bitcoin.

Well as Charles Tim said we cant really tell who owns what except the number of addresses.
That's one of the beauty of Bitcoin, its privacy.
Individuals that have multiple addresses exist while CEX holds many individual bitcoin in one wallet( why the term not your key not your wallet)

Not really,it would only help to know are diversified Bitcoin is
but if you looking for how many wallet address own a BTC then that would be possible to find online.

There is no way you can know that because a single person may have more than one address. I have not seen such research or way to know how many bitcoin holders we have. You can only know about addresses and not the holders.
