What ever the number is it needs to be more. According to this article there are around 52 million "every day" millionaires in the US worth between $1-5M. It should be trivially easy for these people to own and self custody one bitcoin (except of course the obvious 21M BTC reason). We need more easy to use self custody wallets like Unchained, Casa, AnchorWatch, Proton, Bitkey, Liana, Sparrow, etc. Bring on all the projects with what ever models/trade-offs work to somehow put the keys in users hands.

Half the shit you just listed are paid products. Self custody has never been easier and does not require any 3rd party. The keys are already in users hands - use them.

Most of those "millionaires" have their wealth tied up in real estate. This cohort moving their wealth to bitcoin would mean a crash in real estate prices and only a certain amount of first movers would be able to migrate the purchasing power 1:1 or slightly below.
