Dogecoin Holder Count Surges Toward New All-Time Highs — Here Are The Figures

Dogecoin, despite being held up around the $0.21 to $0.23 price zone, has seen its user base grow with adoption among crypto investors of all types. Notably, on-chain data shows that Dogecoin has now surpassed 8 million in terms of addresses holding a non-zero balance. On‑chain analytics from Santiment reveal that Dogecoin has risen from approximately 6.9 million holders earlier in 2025 to the latest 8 million milestone. Only Ethereum and Bitcoin exceed Dogecoin when it comes to user base size. Dogecoin Holder Count Keeps Surging The momentum behind Dogecoin’s adoption shows no sign of slowing down, and the number of addresses holding the meme cryptocurrency is now above 8 million. This trend in Dogecoin holders stems from the cryptocurrency increasingly becoming the go-to asset for many retail traders. This, in turn, has seen the number of Dogecoin holders continue to surge this year, especially as retail investors start to transition from other large market-cap cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, which many now argue is the crypto for institutions.

This is a substantial increase from about 6.9 million holders in the beginning of 2025. The latest figures place Dogecoin well ahead of other large market cap cryptocurrencies such as Cardano (ADA), Chainlink (LINK), and XRP, as well as major stablecoins including USDT and USDC, in terms of total holder count. Only Ethereum, with about 148 million addresses, and Bitcoin, with around 55 million, surpass Dogecoin’s adoption levels. DOGE Whales Continue Accumulating The steady increase in new Dogecoin addresses has been supported by a corresponding increase in whale accumulation. Trading data shows that large wallets have added more billions of Dogecoins in recent weeks. For instance, recent on-chain data shows that wallet addresses holding between 100 million and 1 billion Dogecoin recently added about 2 billion Dogecoin worth $448 million to their holdings within a week. At the institutional level, Bit Origin made headlines after committing $500 million to a Dogecoin treasury last month when the price was hovering around $0.24.
