As Bitcoin flirts with the $118K mark, one silent figure is climbing the billionaire charts without moving a muscle — Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin.
With an estimated 1.09 million BTC still untouched since the early mining days, Satoshi’s holdings are now worth nearly $129 billion, making him wealthier than Dell Technologies founder Michael Dell.
These coins have remained dormant for over a decade — no transfers, no signs of movement — yet they’re now among the largest individual fortunes in the world. And if BTC keeps rallying, Satoshi could soon outrank Google’s Sergey Brin and possibly inch closer to Elon Musk at the top.

To surpass Musk, though? Bitcoin would need to hit $366K+ per coin, a moonshot, but one that doesn't feel impossible in today’s market climate.
What’s even more fascinating is the mystery. No one knows if Satoshi is alive, watching from the sidelines, or simply lost to history. But one thing is certain: the impact of their invention keeps growing.
The fact that a completely inactive wallet can rival the wealth of tech giants is a reminder of just how powerful crypto has become.
The question isn’t just “Who is Satoshi?” anymore. It’s “How high can this go?”
