At one time, the FBI held the distinction for single largest holding of bitcoin after the SilkRoad raid. But I think they've auctioned them off since then.

Wrong. At no point of time, the FBI was in the possession of more than BTC200,000. On the other hand, Satoshi's Bitcoin holdings are estimated to be worth some BTC980,000. So Satoshi has remained as the single largest holder of Bitcoin, ever since the mining started in 2009. Whether he has got the private keys to all of his coins is another question.

The distribution gap between rich and poor is really big. I don't think it is good for the development. The whales just sit and wait for high price. Then they dump it for profits. It is not fair for the average bitcoiners.

Who are the world's biggest Bitcoin holders in 2015??

Top ten list??

Obviously Satoshi, Gavin Andreesen, Roger Ver, Dustin Trammel, probably Mark Karpeles too after he stole all those coins from Mt.Gox.

Can anyone add to the list?

bitcoinrichlist.com showed also high listed adresses that turned out to have no balance anymore. not sure why they don't update it regularly.

The best of bitcoin is that you will never know that information unless owners say how much they have

you can see addresses but they may be split into several addresses

Figures mentioned in the past for other people include 25,000 held by Max Keiser, some British guy who was interviewed by Max Keiser said he had 100,000, Wences Casares put a lot of his own money into coins a long time before the price exploded, Chamath Palihapitiya said he had several million dollars' worth in October 2013.

Who knows how much of this is all blag though. There won't be much left for the rest of the world at that rate.

Addresses are not the same as people.

There is very little correlation. Exchanges (and other companies) use single addresses to hold bitcoins for thousands of people, and most people have their bitcoins spread across multiple addresses.

That is true, but, due to pseudonymous nature of bitcoin, the best we can get to knowing who had the most and how much they have is to look at the addresses.

This is an interesting website that I wasn't aware about. Thank you for the share.

Older members should definitely remember this very useful list:
