As of July 16 2025, according to nostr:nprofile1qqsyttwmn8vwch3549k49wzscefalmlzkj05da4v4hmzty4lua9kuzgpzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ucpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuer9weehgu3wdaexw83njcs there are 982,878 addresses with 1 or more BTC. My estimate is that approx 75k do self custody.

The vast bulk of those are the same person though. Addresses don't = people
Precisely. Some people are whole coiners that do not have a single address greater than 1 BTC.
Bingo
So I think I understand what you are hinting at in relation to the original question. You are suggesting for example, that 800k addresses (vast bulk) are controlled by one person. So the last 200k addresses could be controlled by 50-75k people? Is that a decent guess? So in reference to the original question, how many of these holders self custody?
I have no idea the number, but there are plenty of OG's who have tons of addresses they control. Maybe 1k addresses. So that's a 1000:1 ratio.
But again, I have no idea the actual number(s).
