The fortune of the unknown creator of BitcoinSatoshi Nakamoto, increased to an unprecedented level this week as the original cryptocurrency secured a new historical price.

Bitcoin (BTC) broke a new USD record $ 123,000 in the graphics in the middle of a sustained gain close to 90% in the year. The price not seen previously inflated the pockets of numerous investors. From retailers to great headlines such as corporations and nations, they all saw theoretical profits in the middle of the rebound –even its enigmatic founder.

Satoshi Nakamoto is the pseudonym of the creator –o Group of creators– of Bitcointhe first cryptocurrency of the world. In 2008, he published a revolutionary document described a digital money system peer-to-peerwithout intermediaries, based on technology Blockchain. The following year he released Bitcoinchanging forever global finances.

Despite its monumental impact, no one has seen their face. Nakamoto disappeared from the Internet forums in 2011, leaving behind a valuable and very enigmatic legacy legacy. While we do not know his identity with certainty –What has motivated the emergence of many fascinating theories– We know one thing: he left a huge treasure of Bitcoin.

It is estimated that Satoshi has 1.1 million Bitcoins Mined during the first days of the cryptocurrency, when the reward per extracted block was 50 BTC Instead of 3.125 BTC current, and the mining competition was void.

With the passing of time, that fortune has been appreciated and much! This week, when Bitcoin He conquered a maximum price in the graphics, Nakamoto’s stash also revalued above USD $ 135 billion. Some dollars more than the cents that cost when its now quite successful monetary experiment on the Internet began.

Satoshi surpasses Bill Gates and challenges Warren Buffet

The heritage in Bitcoin Valued at more than 135 billion dollars, placed Satoshi one step away from entering the top 10 of the millionaires with the largest fortunes in the world, according to the list of Forbes of 2025.

At a price of USD $ 123,000 per Bitcointhe estimated holdings of 1.1 million BTC of Nakamoto even achieved Overcome the estimated fortune of USD $ 117 billion Bill Gatesthe American businessman and philanthropist Microsoft.

The creator of Bitcoin He also exceeded a second technologist in the ranking of Millionaires: Michael Dell, the founder and CEO of Dell Technologies, with an estimated wealth of USD $ 126.7 billion, according to Forbes. The next on the list is nothing more and nothing less than the legend of Wall StreetWarren Buffet, with an estimated heritage of almost USD $ 142 billion.

From its historical maximum, BTC It is only 5% distance up so that Satoshi’s holdings match the current buffet fortune. In other words, Bitcoin It has to reach a price of USD $ 129,000 per currency so that Nakamoto is the 10th wealthy person in the world, according to calculations based on the source data cited.

This would certainly be a big surprise for the renowned CEO of Berkshire Hathawaywho for a long time has been a staunch critic of Bitcoin. Buffet once compared Bitcoin with “Poison for rats”And he also flatly rejected the idea of buying all the Bitcoins of the world, even at a cost of USD $ 25. Since then, the price has jumped approximately 217%.

Bitcoin It is 200% to make Satoshi reach Musk

Bitcoin He has enjoyed progressive but constant increases in its value. In the last 10 years, the digital currency has enjoyed a return to 40,000%. At this rate, it does not seem to think that Nakamoto can eventually overcome the richest in the world.

In fact, an approximate increase of 200% since its top of this week would match Satoshi’s fortune with that of billionaire Elon Musk, who occupies position No. 1 in Forbes with an estimated heritage of USD $ 407.5 billion. In other words: BTC It would have to reach a price height of USD $ 370,455 per currency to crown Satoshi as the wealthiest in the world.

This growth percentage is lower than seen by Bitcoin In the last two years, when it was negotiated slightly below USD $ 39,000, so such increase would seem quite possible.

Satoshi might not be alive, but other whales yes

At the moment, everything is hypothetical calculations, and meanwhile, we still do not know who Satoshi or even if he is alive.

The wallets that are believed to be owned by Satoshi have never moved any BTC, as shown by data tracked by Arkham Intelligencewhich has led many to speculate that the creator could have died. After all, why would you not withdraw at least a little, given the immense profits of Bitcoin? (Other whales of his time have already done so).

Nakamoto’s theory of death can be comforting for some. On the opposite side, the perspective that a single entity has so much power over Bitcoin It could be potentially dangerous. A single sale of the inventor could cause a monumental pressure, lying the prices in a matter of the blink of an eye.

It is also possible that, knowing this, he has decided to get rid of his wallets, thus avoiding the possibility of falling into the temptation to sell. Other theories suggest that they could have lost their private keys, which would also explain the inactivity of their BTC

Although the Bitcoins Nakamoto asleep today comfort for many in the market, it is worth noting that there are those who have been accumulating aggressively and now begin to approach the enormous fortune of the inventor. Companies Strategy and Blackrock Now they are huge whales whose holdings are also seen in line with prices. With current 601,550 shells BTC and 727,359 BTC, respectively, it would seem pertinent to follow the movements of both closely.
