Is Satoshi Nakamoto Be One of the World’s Richest People?
06.02.2025 14:00 1 min. read Alexander Stefanov
Bitcoin’s enigmatic creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, may still control a staggering fortune in BTC, with estimates placing the holdings at over $107 billion, according to blockchain analytics firm Arkham.
Researchers at Arkham have traced roughly 1.096 million BTC to around 22,000 addresses believed to be linked to Nakamoto. Their conclusions stem from the “Patoshi Pattern” theory, a method developed by Sergio Lerner that analyzes irregularities in Bitcoin’s earliest mining activity.
By identifying flaws in the original Bitcoin v.01 protocol, Lerner’s research suggests that a single entity—likely Nakamoto—was responsible for mining a significant portion of Bitcoin’s first blocks.
If these holdings were ever accessed or sold, Nakamoto would rank among the wealthiest individuals in the world, even surpassing tech moguls such as Bill Gates, based on current valuations.
