😃 #bitcoin Remains “People’s Money”

Nearly half of all Bitcoin — 10.22 million $BTC (48.7%) — is held in self-custody, reinforcing Bitcoin’s role as truly decentralized money.

This share is far larger than holdings via #ETFs (12.3%) and other indirect investment products. Meanwhile, 33.9% of BTC still sits on exchanges, according to Arkham data.

📊 The numbers highlight a key difference between Bitcoin and traditional assets: a large portion of holders continue to control their own coins, rather than relying on intermediaries — keeping the “not your keys, not your coins” principle alive.
