A typical post picks up 111 interactions against 847K followers, an engagement rate of 0.013%. Measured over 27 original posts, its engagement rate beats 38% of 3,739 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 17K times each, and 0.645% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.03% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 73% of days. Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 27 posts sampled, 74% carry an image or video and 48% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 2.3K interactions, about 21x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Barry Silbert's engagement rate beats 38% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 39% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.013%, Barry Silbert sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,261 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.012% to 0.08%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,261 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 107,137 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 10:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

    Grayscale Investments, the world’s largest digital asset-focused investment platform¹, just sent a letter to the Senate requesting a floor vote on the CLARITY Act before the August recess. "Senators and staff across the aisle have spent months addressing hard questions about jurisdiction, investor protections, and developer safeguards. The framework that emerged protects investors, shields legitimate developers from overreach, and provides the certainty Americans deserve." After months of bipartisan work, the industry is ready for CLARITY.

What is Barry Silbert's engagement rate on X?
Barry Silbert (@BarrySilbert) has an engagement rate of 0.013%, based on the median interactions across 27 original posts from the last 30 days against 846,735 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.013%, Barry Silbert sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,261 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @BarrySilbert have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 38% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @BarrySilbert post?
Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.27 posts per day across the measured window.
