Fact Check
The statement is strongly supported by multiple credible sources (The Block, Yahoo Finance) that cite the primary source, the Henley & Partners' Crypto Wealth Report. These sources corroborate both the total number of millionaires (241,700, which is 'over 240,000') and the 40% year-on-year surge. While two sources mention a 'doubling', the evidence that specifically cites both the 40% figure and the ~240,000 total is more consistent and detailed.
