Supplementary notes
* On March 9, 2021, the source consisted of a database of 21,941 companies, which were then assigned a business type matching Statista's own categorization. Due to the size of the data set, this categorization is an ongoing process, with roughly 75 percent of all data having been assigned an industry as of the aforementioned date.
The numbers provided are Statista estimates based on information from OpenMap.org, using software from Nominatim.
The information provided here comes from an open-source platform, meaning that people can add or remove companies at their own behest. This might lead to some countries having more entries than others (e.g. the website being more known/used in country X than in country Y), or that some figures have not been updated (e.g. a company was added at some point, but the business dissolved at a later date and had not been removed from the database). Additionally, the cryptocurrency market is a volatile market that is difficult to map out. For these reasons, all figures provided are estimates and may vary in accuracy.
