Bitcoin's Soaring Heights: Satoshi to Dethrone Musk as Wealthiest at This BTC Valuation
**Headline:** Satoshi Nakamoto Remains 11th Richest Person as Bitcoin Price Nears Key Milestone
In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency, the identity of Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, remains a mystery. Yet, the impact of their early involvement in the digital currency is undeniable, as they continue to hold a substantial portion of the total Bitcoin supply.
According to recent estimates, Satoshi Nakamoto owns approximately 1.096 million Bitcoins, which is currently valued at around $128.9–$132 billion. This places Nakamoto at the 11th position on the Forbes real-time rich list, just behind Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who is worth an estimated $142.3 billion.
Interestingly, U.S.-based Bitcoin ETFs are the only entities with a larger Bitcoin holding than Satoshi Nakamoto. However, no individual holder comes close to the amount of Bitcoin linked to the cryptocurrency's mysterious creator.
The Bitcoin linked to Satoshi's early mining activity has never been moved since it was mined in cryptocurrency's first year. This unspent Bitcoin is currently worth over $133 billion, demonstrating the significant impact of Nakamoto's early involvement in Bitcoin's development.
The Winklevoss twins, Tim Draper, and Michael Saylor are among the biggest known individual holders of Bitcoin. The Winklevoss twins reportedly have approximately 70,000 BTC, while Saylor, outside of his company's treasury, owns 17,700 BTC personally. Tim Draper holds 30,000 BTC.
If Bitcoin climbs to around $132,000-$134,000, Satoshi Nakamoto could enter the billionaire elite exclusive tier with a net worth of $143 billion. To reach this milestone, Bitcoin would need to increase to approximately $127,273 per coin, which is just a 5–7% increase from recent all-time highs.
However, it's important to note that both Bitcoin price and billionaire rankings fluctuate frequently, so this is a snapshot estimate. The actual price increase required could be less or more, depending on market conditions and the movement of other billionaires' wealth.
Whole countries and public companies do not even come close to Nakamoto's stash, highlighting the potential impact that early adopters of Bitcoin can have on the cryptocurrency's future. Despite the lack of activity or confirmation from Satoshi Nakamoto, their Bitcoin continues to hold significant influence in the world of cryptocurrency.
