Crypto Millionare 2025 Listicle

Jakarta, Pintu News – In 2025, the crypto market continues to show its appeal as a new wealth field, giving birth to individuals with immense wealth sourced entirely from digital assets.

In this volatile industry, a few names have managed to establish themselves as the biggest crypto owners, either through technological innovation, early investment, or large asset holdings since the embryonic phase of various blockchain projects.

1. Satoshi Nakamoto

Based on data from Arkham Intelligence, Satoshi Nakamoto’s wealth is estimated to exceed $100 billion. However, his inclusion on this list is contentious as his true identity remains a mystery-it is not known for certain whether he is a single individual or a group of people.

2. Justin Sun ($2.3 billion)

Justin Sun is a Chinese entrepreneur and an early figure in the crypto industry. He is known as the founder of TRON (TRX), a blockchain platform focused on decentralized applications and digital content distribution. He is also the CEO of BitTorrent and owns two crypto exchanges.

According to data from Arkham, Justin Sun’s on-chain crypto wealth is around $2.3 billion. He has assets in various types of cryptocurrencies.

Recently, Justin Sun has been embroiled in controversy over World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a Trump-affiliated crypto project. After purchasing a large stake in the project, Sun’s crypto wallet holding WLFI was blocked by the project manager, following the transfer of approximately $9 million worth of WLFI tokens to a number of crypto exchanges.

3. Owen Gunden ($1.3 billion)

Owen Gunden was one of the early players in Bitcoin arbitrage trading on exchanges such as Mt. Gox and Tradehill. He traded tens of thousands of Bitcoins through Mt. Gox when the platform was still active, building large positions from the early stages of the asset’s growth.

After that, Gunden switched from trading to investing and served in several executive positions. He has sat on the board of directors of LedgerX, the first federally regulated platform in the United States for physically settled trading of digital asset swaps and options.

Although his X account has shown no activity since 2018, his crypto wallet remains active. He used services such as BlockFi and Genesis Trading, which later filed for bankruptcy. As a creditor, Gunden earned more than 600 BTC from the distribution of Genesis’ bankruptcy proceeds.

Currently, the wallet address identified by Arkham as belonging to Gunden holds over 11,000 BTC, making him one of the individuals with the largest outright Bitcoin holdings.

4. Rain Lohmus ($1.1 billion)

Rain Lohmus is the man behind one of the most recognizable cautionary tales in crypto. The Estonian banker and co-founder of LHV Bank was an early Ethereum supporter and participated in Ethereum’s ICO in 2014. He invested around $75,000 and earned 250,000 ETH.

However, Lohmus then lost access to the private keys of the wallet that held the assets. While his ownership of the assets could still be verified on the blockchain, he had no way to access or move them.

His billion-dollar fortune is now locked up, serving as an important reminder of the key management role and unique risks of self-storage systems in the world of digital assets. The current value of Lohmus’ ETH holdings is estimated at $1.05 billion.

5. Vitalik Buterin ($1.1 billion)

Vitalik Buterin, one of the most famous figures in the crypto world after Satoshi Nakamoto, is a visionary programmer who co-founded Ethereum (ETH). As a co-founder of the project, he has been allocated ETH since the early phases of the network’s launch.

Most of Buterin’s on-chain wealth comes from his ETH holdings, which have risen sharply in value since Ethereum launched in 2015. He is also known as the accidental recipient of trillions of tokens from various meme coin projects, such as Shiba Inu (SHIB), which tried to gain legitimacy by sending tokens to its public address.
