The sustained growth of addresses with more than 1000 BTC can be traced back to July 2010. At that time, the price of Bitcoin still did not reach 2,000 USD. The increase in the price of Bitcoin is disproportionate to the growth of the +1000BTC addresses. The latter grow steadily until the bullrun of 2017, when it experiences a slight decrease.
