Though 2025 – the first year of President Donald Trump’s second term – appeared for a time to be delivering on the hopes of the cryptocurrency industry and community, the market eventually shifted decisively downward.
Overall, the first 500 days of the Republican’s administration resulted in the loss of 45,904 Bitcoin ($BTC) millionaire addresses, per the blockchain data tracking address-level wealth that Finbold retrieved from BitInfoCharts and via the Wayback Machine on June 4, 2026.
Specifically, shortly after President Trump’s second inauguration on January 20, 2025, there were 157,563 $BTC millionaire addresses. By press time, 500 days later, the figure was reduced to 111,659, indicating a 29.13% total loss.
This decline was also evident among the addresses with more than $10 million worth of the cryptocurrency, as their numbers stood at 18,801 at the start of the second term and fell by 4,686 – 24.92% – to 14,115.
The steep 2026 decline is also evident in the decrease from January 21, 2026, when there were 132,383 Bitcoin addresses with more than $1 million and 16,453 with more than $10 million in the digital asset.
Bitcoin drops nearly 40% during Trump’s first 500 days back in office
Notably, cryptocurrency market moves in June 2026 made a significant contribution to the drop in the two figures. Within just four days, Bitcoin plunged approximately 14% from over $73,000 to $63,448.
This latest, steep decline contributed to the overall $BTC price drop of 2026 as the world’s premier digital asset is down 27.50% year-to-date (YTD) overall.
Simultaneously, Bitcoin fell about 39% from approximately $103,000 shortly after President Donald Trump’s second inauguration, and it is 50% below the roughly $125,000 highs recorded late in 2025.
Why Bitcoin price is crashing in June
So far, there have been several important factors in June that likely contributed to the downturn.
The decision to sell 32 Bitcoins to help fund preferred stock commitments made by Michael Saylor’s (NASDAQ: MSTR) strategy drew significant attention, despite the amount being comparatively trivial, due to the company’s traditional ‘diamond hands’ rhetoric.
June also featured renewed escalation in the Middle East, and despite the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran officially holding, the two countries have been exchanging bombs and missiles at an increased rate.
