We reach 500,000 accounts today with some pretty nice growth over the past week. Over 15,000 new accounts have been created in the past seven days. I think a conservative estimate for next year's growth would be one to two million new accounts.
Here are some stats from the database.
Total Steemit Accounts to date:

Sql scripts I used to obtain this data:
select
count(name)
,convert(date, created)
from accounts
where convert(date, created) >= dateadd(day, datediff(day, 0, GetDate()) - 6, 0)
group by convert(date, created)
order by convert(date, created)
select count(id) from accounts
