How rich is Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto?

How rich is Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto?

As Bitcoin approaches new historical highs, its mysterious creator Satoshi Nakamoto ranks among the richest people on the planet without ever showing his face.

Blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence recently highlighted that Nakamoto’s estimated Bitcoin holdings – around 1.1 million BTC – are now worth around $121 billion. This estimate catapults the mysterious figure to 11th place on the list of the world’s richest people, ahead of notable names like Nvidia’s Jensen Huang and Walmart’s Walton heirs.

The recent surge in Bitcoin's price to just over $111,000 has significantly boosted Nakamoto's theoretical wealth, putting him second only to tech giants Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos in the billionaire rankings, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

However, the exact amount of tokens controlled by the mysterious creator remains unclear. Some platforms, such as BiTBO, estimate his fortune at around 968,000 BTC – worth around $106 billion – which would put him a few spots lower on the list.

Regardless of the exact amount, Nakamoto's long-dormant state remains one of the biggest mysteries in the cryptocurrency world. With the original tokens remaining intact, they serve as a silent monument to Bitcoin's meteoric rise and a reminder of the anonymous architect behind the digital currency revolution.
