Who Owns The Most Bitcoin?

Satoshi Nakamoto holds the largest stash of Bitcoin—estimated at around 1.1 million BTC. Satoshi not only created Bitcoin but also launched it by being the first miner to process blocks of transactions. It’s believed Satoshi mined over 22,000 blocks starting January 3rd, 2009, earning more than one million BTC in total block rewards.

How Much Bitcoin Does Satoshi Have?

In total, Satoshi is thought to control 1.1 million BTC, valued at roughly $127 billion as of August 2025. These coins aren’t in a single wallet but spread across about 22,000 different addresses. Apart from a few test spends, none have ever moved. Satoshi stepped away from the project in 2010 and hasn’t resurfaced since.
