BlackRock's IBIT is on track to surpass Satoshi next year, but this could happen sooner.
BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) is on track to surpass Satoshi Nakamoto as the leading holder of the largest cryptocurrency by the end of next summer, according to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas.
The Bitcoin ETF of the world's leading asset manager currently stands at 636,108 coins. Based on blockchain forensic analysis, Satoshi's Bitcoin holdings are believed to be somewhere around 1.12 million coins.
Back in 2013, researcher Sergio Demian Lerner estimated that the mysterious Bitcoin creator personally mined more than a million tokens. He managed to determine this by identifying the so-called "Patoshi pattern" after analyzing the nonce values of the specific blocks that were mined during Bitcoin's earliest days.
That said, it should be noted that the aforementioned estimate is only probabilistic. Even though Satoshi-era Bitcoin holdings are often on the move, the coins linked to the creator of the original cryptocurrency remain untouched. Balchunas believes that these coins are very unlikely to move in the future.
Timeline could be shortened
Balchunas has also noted that Bitcoin surpassing the $150,000 mark could potentially encourage a lot of advisors to pivot to IBIT. This will "dramatically" shorten the aforementioned timeline since a massive price rally could trigger another wave of inflows, according to the famous ETF analyst. Even though this type of institutional adoption undermines the libertarian-centric Bitcoin narrative, Balchunas is certain that it will positively affect Bitcoin's staying power.

Генеральний директор Block Inc. Джек Дорсі викликав гарячу дискусію в криптоспільноті, підтримавши ідею відмовитися від терміна «сатоші» на користь назви мінімальної одиниці просто «біткоїн». Про це він заявив 18 травня 2025 року в соцмережі X, коментуючи пост користувача
@grubles
. Пропозиція, викладена в BIP 177 розробником Джоном Карвальо, передбачає скасування дробового формату (вісім знаків після коми) і переосмислення одиниць обліку, що спростить сприйняття біткоїна для новачків.
Дорсі наголосив, що термін «сатоші» заплутує нових користувачів, а проста назва «біткоїн» зробить криптовалюту доступнішою. Однак критики, зокрема Кори Кліппстен і Магдалена Гроновська, попереджають про можливий хаос: зміна може створити враження, що пропозиція біткоїна зросла до 2,1 квадрильйона одиниць, а ціна обвалилася.
Технічно блокчейн залишиться незмінним, але інтерфейси гаманців і бірж потребуватимуть оновлення. Дискусія підкреслює прагнення Дорсі зробити біткоїн повноцінними грішми. Слідкуйте за новинами крипторинку! Підписуйтесь на #MiningUpdates

BlackRock Bitcoin ETF has been single-handedly dominating the ETF market, clocking another $287.5 million in inflows on Tuesday.


With over $46 billion in flows since inception in January 2024, Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas believes that the asset manager will overtake Satoshi Nakamoto’s BTC holdings by next summer.
Furthermore, if the Bitcoin price rallies to $150K, BlackRock can attain this milestone even faster.
BlackRock Poised to Overtake Satoshi Nakamoto in BTC Holdings
Eric Balchunas pointed out that BlackRock is now the second-largest Bitcoin holder globally, trailing only the pseudonymous BTC creator Satoshi Nakamoto.
According to Balchunas, if the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF continues to accumulate at this rate, it could become the largest Bitcoin holder by next year’s summer.

Balchunas speculated that if Bitcoin reaches $150,000 in the coming months, it could spark a “feeding frenzy” among financial advisors.
With massive Bitcoin ETF inflows recently, BlackRock knocked off Binance for the second spot as per the above image. Adding further to his commentary on this development, Balchunas wrote:
“And yes this list can be debated given the role of custodians like coinbase, we get it, the bigger point worth being made here is JUST HOW FAST BLACKROCK IS PAC-MAN-ING UP THE BTC, or rather their investors are as their holdings represent millions of ppl”.

BlackRock Bitcoin ETF Is Unstoppable
With inflows registered for 24 out of the past 25 trading sessions, BlackRock Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) has been single-handedly rising the ETF inflows over the past month.
Data from Thomas Fahrer shows that IBIT netted a total of 2705 BTC worth $287.5 million in inflows, which was ten times of its immediate competitor, Fidelity’s FBTC, which saw $23 million in inflows.
With this, BlackRock’s IBIT has hit another milestone of crossing $46 billion in inflows since its inception. As a result, the total holding of the iShares Bitcoin Trust has now surged to 639,000.

Some of the biggest holders of IBIT shares in the market include financial giants like Goldman Sachs. In the latest development, $1 trillion asset manager Blackstone declared ownership of 23,094 shares in BlackRock Bitcoin ETF as of March 31, according to a recent disclosure.
The Bitcoin price is also showing strength, gaining another 1.2% today and surging past $107,000. Market experts believe that if this momentum continues further, we could be seeing fresh all-time highs by this weekend.

BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF is taking the market by storm. With over $46 billion in inflows since its launch in January 2024, analysts say it could soon overtake Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, in BTC holdings. And if Bitcoin’s price jumps to $150,000, this milestone could arrive even sooner — well before summer 2025.

📊 The World’s Second-Largest Bitcoin Holder
According to Eric Balchunas of Bloomberg, BlackRock is now the second-largest holder of BTC globally, right behind the mysterious Satoshi. But as Balchunas puts it — that lead is shrinking fast.
👉 At this pace, iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) could claim the top spot in just a few months.

👉 If BTC breaks above $150,000, financial advisors may go on a “feeding frenzy”, accelerating the ETF’s growth even further.

🚀 BlackRock ETF’s Relentless Growth
✅ 24 of the last 25 trading days have seen new inflows

✅ On Tuesday alone, IBIT attracted $287.5 million

✅ In the past month, the ETF accumulated 2,705 BTC — ten times more than Fidelity’s rival fund (FBTC)
BlackRock now holds over 639,000 BTC, making IBIT the fastest-growing Bitcoin ETF on the market.

💼 Who’s Driving This Momentum?
Major financial players are getting involved. Goldman Sachs is among the largest IBIT shareholders, and most recently, Blackstone disclosed it owned 23,094 shares in the ETF as of March 31.
The message from Wall Street is clear: Bitcoin ETFs are no longer a trend — they’re a serious asset class.

📈 Bitcoin Price Climbs – New All-Time Highs Incoming?
BTC has been showing renewed strength, gaining 1.2% today and pushing past $107,000. Analysts believe that if this trend holds, new all-time highs could be reached by this weekend.

🔍 Summary: BlackRock Is Reshaping the Game
While crypto was once dominated by retail traders, institutions like BlackRock are now setting the pace. And it’s not just about the numbers — it’s about the message: Bitcoin is becoming a mainstream financial instrument for Wall Street.
And if growth continues? IBIT might not just surpass Satoshi — it could rewrite the future of crypto investing.

Lumea criptomonedelor a fost din nou zguduită de o acțiune surprinzătoare a unui whale Bitcoin — un nume dat investitorilor mari cu dețineri de criptomonedă de mare valoare. După ce a fost inactiv timp de mai bine de un deceniu, acest portofel misterios s-a activat brusc și a mutat 300 BTC într-o adresă nouă!
Conform datelor de pe platforma de monitorizare blockchain Lookonchain, acest portofel a fost activ ultima dată acum 11 ani, exact când a primit 300 BTC la un preț mediu de 447 dolari pe monedă. La acea vreme, valoarea totală era de aproximativ 134.000 de dolari. Însă astăzi, cu prețul Bitcoin-ului care a crescut, acest activ valorează aproximativ 515 miliarde de rupii sau echivalentul a 31,1 milioane de dolari.
