According to BlockBeats, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, has become one of the world's wealthiest individuals or groups without spending any money or revealing any personal information.
As Bitcoin's value surpassed $122,000 earlier this week, Nakamoto's holdings of approximately 1.1 million BTC are now valued at over $134 billion, based on public blockchain data.
This valuation places Nakamoto close to the top ten on the global wealth list, surpassing figures like Dell CEO Michael Dell and Walmart heir Rob Walton. Nakamoto is also nearing the wealth of former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and legendary investor Warren Buffett, according to Forbes' real-time billionaire rankings.
Nakamoto's fortune is approaching that of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, whose net worth is approximately $142 billion, currently ranking him tenth on the global wealth list.
