I am just curious to know why you want to know the owners of those addresses. Aside from linking any of the addresses to a scam, I do not think it is right to keep digging the owner of an address especially if the reason you are doing so is just that you see that the addresses contain a huge amount of crypto.
I don't think this is a big deal because the OP seems to be just curious and want to be motivated to be able to have a large amount of Bitcoin like the top 10 address lol, but I agree with you not to randomly link LINK because that could lead to fraud or the like.. 
Topic: Who own top 10 addresses (Read 330 times)
I have tried tracking the top 50 Bitcoin addresses with the most number of Bitcoin and almost all of them are addresses of exchange (not belonging to one person). Cameron Winklevoss and Tyler Winklevoss are brothers twins who own 1% of the amount of Bitcoin they bought in 2013 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winklevoss_twins
I just think the block chain is trustworthy.And in the second step only Etherium e Best.Then the stages work in many steps.The owners are trying to make everything stronger.

Maybe he plans some criminal activities? if some of these Bitcoin holders leave near him, maybe he plans to steal their wallets? That's the first thing that falls on my mind, second is that he wishes to follow those people on different social platforms and try to become their friend and beg for some coins?! We will not hear the reasons from OP, some people just ask questions without any explanations why they wish to know something. I don't care about these addresses, I care only about my wallet!
Maybe the OP is just being curious
That's nothing wrong with asking. But personally, if I was the owner of any of those wallets, I would surely protect my identity in a way that no one can identify me.

This may be anyone, maybe some famous person but is this really important if they dont want to be known?
Come on. Everyone wants to know who own this addresses.
Clearly not "everyone". Probably just vapid people who are obsessed with things like celebrity gossip and other such shallow nonsense. I think people today, generally speaking, are so unfulfilled in their daily lives that they have to fixate on what others have. It's just sad when that's what passes for culture nowadays. It's partly a problem with the media, who think it's okay to report on the private lives of individuals and pretend that it's somehow newsworthy, but ultimately the onus is on ordinary people to stop eating that crap up and then demanding more of the same.
I would say this is yet another instance where Bitcoin provides some healthy checks and balances to the incorrect way in which we currently perceive things. The "Rich List" in Forbes, for example, has identities attached to it, potentially painting a target on their backs. The Bitcoin "Rich List" is pseudonymous, allowing people to stay safe by not allowing criminals an easily identifiable target. Why would you want to potentially place lives in jeopardy by seeking to change this?
Otherwise, there would be no quest for who is satoshi.
Contrary to popular belief, also none of your business.

I can only say that I am quite surprised by the fact that many people ask questions like this, as if BTC is something completely worthless. Who owns BTC at any address should be a completely private matter - most people don't go around talking about how much money they have in their bank accounts, but for some strange reason they are not hiding their crypto investments at all. When I say "hiding", I do not think from tax administration or something like that, but from complete strangers on social networks.
It would be much better not to find out who actually owns these top 10 addresses, or even the top 100 of them. This protects the owners, but also the BTC itself - there are certainly people who would be very happy to own these coins, but not only to sell them, but for a reason to destroy them. Even though destroying private keys does not destroy BTC, I personally would not be pleased if someone publicly demonstrated the destruction of a large amount of BTC - and the world is full of rich lunatics who would do everything for 5 minutes of glory.

Some of the addresses are tagged the owner name here in the list but who own thw other addresses? There are no tag on these addresses. Are they known persons? Or unknown?
Most of those wallet will remain unknown for the purpose of their security and if I’m the owner of one of the address on the list, I’d better to shut up or the hackers will find me. They own a lot of money, it could be a group of people, a group of company or a big exchange we can’t really know but what matters the most is that, they are still here holding bitcoin and that can be good for us. Some of the addresses are tagged the owner name here in the list but who own thw other addresses? There are no tag on these addresses. Are they known persons? Or unknown?
I'm pretty sure you are not the only person who asked that question and many have done blockchain analysis to uncover the owners of those unidentified wallets.
Imagine you own the wallet and did your best effort not to be identified with that address. You would want others to stop digging. There is this thing called privacy.
Well maybe out of curiosity some people are digging information about these addresses without respecting someone's privacy. For a thing like this, I guess it is enough to know if the address belongs to an exchange, a person, or an institution. Why not try to keep your business in acquiring bitcoins? make the amount of those addresses a fuel to be inspired and be on the top 10 addresses, it is free to fantasize Imagine you own the wallet and did your best effort not to be identified with that address. You would want others to stop digging. There is this thing called privacy.
It's not important to know who own them but what's wrong with knowing that if anyone knows? I'm just curious.
If I know you own 10 BTC here and there, would you be fine if told people around you "hey, this guy has 10 BTC here and there!". And then an hour later, you got many spam messages asking for a donation, or worse, a hitman coming to $5 wrench you.

what is your purpose of telling that you have a lot of Bitcoin, is it just showing off? if there is no positive reason then it's not important to tell
As you can see addresses nr 3 and 4 are not tagged but have very recent transactions so these are also cold wallets of some exchanges. We can assume that since there's no coinbase or bitstamp address in that group they could beloing to those companies.
I'd say that every address containing more than 10k BTC (not counting Satoshi's coins) belongs to an exchange.

This is one of the most important things that make Bitcoin important. ANONYMITY! In other words, when we know who these wallets belong to, all the important building blocks in the blockchain have disappeared. So we love it because the owners of those wallets are anonymous. Because we think we can remain anonymous whenever we want.
I'm pretty sure you are not the only person who asked that question and many have done blockchain analysis to uncover the owners of those unidentified wallets.

I agree why would those top crypto owners want to expose their self ?Imagine you own the wallet and did your best effort not to be identified with that address. You would want others to stop digging. There is this thing called privacy.
They wouldn't gain anything from it just some attention and they could even endanger their family by doing it so it is wise for them to stay hidden.
Put yourself on their place if you are one of the richest person on crypto would you tell it to the public exposing yourself and being target of the hackers or other people?
Most of them are of course exchange wallet, online wallets and wallets of other financial services and hedge funds. They could also be of large mining industry and frozen accounts like binance's wbtc. I think more than 75 out of 100 are such accounts and the remaining could be of person and some may be hold by satoshi and early miners and investors.

No one knows on who do own those wallets.Some of top wallet addresses are exchange cold or hot wallets but you can really differentiate which is a personal one but most of them
are long time dead or doesnt have any recent transaction neither those wallet are on cold storage or totally lost wallets in void.Seeing those numbers makes me drool and
i do feel stressed to think that having 5 to 6 digits amounts of bitcoin is totally lost in space.
Sir/Ma
Let me throw more light;
to me it seems as if those people holding those wallets may decides not open or initiate any transactions till their specified time which they want to operate with it. I could vividly remember my boss who brought me into blockchain and bounty said, he wanna buy BTC up 1000btc as then it was $17k which was 2017 to 2018 either and saying he could only operate on it wen it will get 50k USD per BTC.
so you see, someone would decide on a particular thing and stands on it, so in this aspect they are not dead and those wallet can not displays his name.
the wallets that can displays names could only displays the creator or the owners of the token who generates the coin from Adams so if any other person is making use of the wallet then it will not show his or her name.
Most of address from your provided link are belongs to exchanges. I am assuming they tag their address due to be transparent about their fund movement. As we know sometimes we notice xxx amount bitcoin moved to an unknown address from Binance, so if there is no tag how we could determine? However there would be some other reasons which I am unaware about. Those address not yet tag belong to any persons of companies that means simply they want to stay anonymous. How to determine known or unknown person? Who know? if you are the one who have one this address with big amount

The topic should have ended after this fine post. If they're not your coins, then it's not really any of your business who they belong to.
