You can use GNU grep together with wc
grep -o '>' file.txt | wc -l
grep -o prints every match on a separate line. wc counts the lines.
Btw, it's not 100% clear in your question if the > can appear only at the start of a line. If you just want to count the lines that start with a > you can use the following grep command:
grep -c '^[[:space:]]*>' file.txt
^ matches the beginning of the line, [[:space:]]* allows for zero ore more space characters in front of the >, just in case.
