$BTC Bitcoin Creator Satoshi Nakamoto May Soon Overtake Warren Buffett To Become World’s 10th Richest
According to a prominent industry commentator, if Bitcoin continues its meteoric rise, Satoshi Nakamoto’s estimated 1.1 million BTC stash could soon surpass the net worth of well-known crypto skeptic and investment titan Warren Buffett.
Bitcoin’s Price Upsurge Boosts Satoshi’s Fortune
The pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, whose true identity remains a mystery, will soon overtake the billionaire investor Warren Buffett in wealth.
Bitcoin historian and journalist Pete Rizzo noted in a post on X that Satoshi is about to outrank Buffett and become the tenth wealthiest person in the world.
Bitcoin’s current price, Nakamoto’s holding is worth over $129 billion, ranking him the 11th wealthiest person in the world, and he is now still behind Buffett’s net worth of approximately $143.2 billion as of 2025. Nakamoto would need about $14.2 billion more to surpass Buffett’s fortune.
Meanwhile, the former Berkshire Hathaway CEO has never cottoned to Bitcoin, infamously calling the alpha crypto “rat poison squared” in a May 2018 interview with CNBC’s “Squawk Box”. He remained skeptical of its usefulness, even after meeting with some of the industry’s most powerful advocates, such as Tron founder Justin Sun.
