The Blue Whale: above 100K BTC
Whale: 10K-100K BTC
Orca: 1K-10K BTC
Dolphin (The common dolphin): 100-999 BTC
Popoto (The smallest dolphin): 10-100 BTC
Tuna 1-10 BTC
Herring 0.1-1 BTC
Minnow 1sat-0.1 btc

Post other suggestions, but have to be consistent (with whale).

It looks like there are only a total of 20-40K or so of Blue whales, whales, orcas and dolphins combined.
A very small group indeed.
I think that indiiduals with a stake in BTC more than 100k right now would be very few. A dozen or less. Why would anyone keep so many BTC anyway instead of investing? Perhaps we're only talking about enterprized, organizations and institutions at that level. Like, exchanges, funds, pools, wallet services and other entities dealing with bitcoins of others as a business.
