Satoshi Nakamoto Becomes 11th Richest as Bitcoin Soars Above $110K

Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, now holds over $120 billion in Bitcoin, according to data from Arkham Intelligence. This staggering figure places Satoshi as the 11th richest person in the world, edging closer to Google co-founder Sergey Brin, whose net worth is currently $143 billion.

The dramatic increase in Satoshi's estimated wealth follows Bitcoin’s recent surge to an all-time high of $112,000. As of now, BTC continues to trade near $110,000, fueled by growing institutional interest and broader crypto market momentum.

Despite years of speculation, Satoshi Nakamoto’s true identity remains unknown. Many believe the Bitcoin creator is either a deceased individual or a group of developers who have long since disappeared. Mike Novogratz, founder of Galaxy Digital, has publicly stated he is convinced Satoshi is no longer alive.

Meanwhile, BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF is rapidly accumulating BTC and could surpass Satoshi’s holdings as early as next summer. If institutional inflows remain strong, this milestone could arrive even sooner, especially with Bitcoin’s continued upward trajectory.

Satoshi’s fortune is based on approximately 1.1 million BTC mined in the early days of the network, which have remained untouched. As Bitcoin adoption accelerates globally, the influence and symbolic power of these holdings continue to grow, even in the absence of any movement from the original wallets.

With Bitcoin’s market dynamics evolving rapidly, Satoshi Nakamoto’s position among the world’s wealthiest serves as a powerful reminder of how far the cryptocurrency space has come since Bitcoin’s launch in 2009. The rise of decentralized assets is no longer a fringe concept—it's reshaping global wealth rankings in real time.
