Is 186,000 not a lot? It doesn't need to be a large percentage of the overall, just influencers with a financial investment in it.

(Yes, in theory people can also own say, Google stock, but BAT is directly tied to the browser's success.)

Is 186,000 a large or small fraction of 7M? Also note the largest few accounts are liquidity pools owned by exchanges, and custodial accounts we use for cold BAT.

How does a browser grow from zero share? Hint: it's not by "influence" alone, with zero benefit to the prospect being pitched by the influencer.
