Should I keep 0.5 BTC on an exchange or in self-custody?
0.5 BTC in USD is large enough that most Bitcoin advocates recommend self-custody on a hardware wallet like a Ledger or Trezor. Exchange balances are exposed to counterparty risk โ Mt. Gox (2014), FTX (2022), and QuadrigaCX (2019) all wiped out user funds. A hardware wallet costs $80โ$200 and removes that risk.
How rare is holding 0.5 BTC?
Holding 0.5 BTC puts you in a small minority of Bitcoin holders. Chain-analysis firm Glassnode estimates that about 1% of Bitcoin addresses hold more than 1 BTC, so 0.5 BTC or more is likely held by a low-single-digit percentage of addresses. Note that one address can hold many people's funds (an exchange) and one person can control many addresses, so this is a rough proxy, not a headcount.
