The anonymous founder of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, has quietly climbed into the ranks of the world’s wealthiest individuals. As Bitcoin surged past $120,000, Nakamoto’s estimated holdings of 1.096 million $BTC are now worth over $132.8 billion.

This places Nakamoto ahead of major tech names like Michael Dell, theoretically making him the 11th richest person in the world, even though Forbes does not include crypto holdings in its official rankings.

Analysts believe the growth isn’t stopping there. If Bitcoin continues to grow at its historic 50% annual rate, Nakamoto could climb to second place by 2026, trailing only Elon Musk.

Despite holding such an immense fortune, Nakamoto has never moved a single Bitcoin from his wallets since disappearing in 2011. These dormant addresses are now worth over $117 billion and remain untouched, fueling both awe and speculation.

Just last month, an anonymous $20,000 BTC transaction was made to Satoshi’s Genesis wallet, possibly a tribute from an early supporter. This follows a long history of similar unexplained transfers.

Meanwhile, debates over Nakamoto’s identity continue. Some researchers recently suggested Jack Dorsey as a possible candidate, while Craig Wright’s claims to be Satoshi were dismissed in court.
