The explosive rise in Bitcoin's price has catapulted its elusive creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, into the ranks of the global billionaire elite. According to current estimates, Satoshi now holds a fortune worth $120 billion, placing him as the 11th richest person on the planet, just behind Google co-founder Sergey Brin.
š Bitcoin Hits New Record ā Nearly $112,000
This immense fortune stems from an estimated 1.96 million BTC held in so-called ādormantā wallets, untouched since 2011. Blockchain analysis firm Arkham Intelligence recently reanalyzed these addresses, confirming that the coins remain intact. Although Satoshi has never moved or spent a single satoshi, his net worth has soared due to Bitcoin reaching a new all-time high of around $112,000. At the time of writing, BTC is trading just below $110,000, according to CoinMarketCap.
Satoshiās holdings now represent 5.2% of Bitcoinās total supply, theoretically granting him considerable market influence. Yet as the community knows well ā Satoshi has never sold a single coin.
š§© Who Is Satoshi? The Mystery Remains, But His Coins Speak Volumes
Despite endless speculation over Satoshiās identity ā with names like Hal Finney, Nick Szabo, and Dorian Nakamoto often mentioned ā no theory has ever been confirmed. Nonetheless, this anonymous pioneer has secured a place among the titans of global wealth ā without a single public appearance or press release.
š Bitcoin Surpasses Amazon to Become the 5th Most Valuable Asset
In addition to Satoshiās growing fortune, the past week saw another major milestone: Bitcoin overtook Amazon in market capitalization, becoming the 5th most valuable asset on Earth.
š¹ Bitcoin market cap: $2.16 trillion
š¹ Amazon market cap: $2.13 trillion
This landmark moment clearly reflects a shift in how financial markets perceive digital assets. Much of this growth is fueled by institutional interest and the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs, which have driven new demand and pushed prices higher.
š Major Players Keep Buying: MicroStrategy Adds 4,020 BTC
Michael Saylorās firm, formerly known as MicroStrategy, continues its massive commitment to Bitcoin. Between May 19 and 25, it purchased 4,020 BTC, bringing its total holdings to over 580,250 BTC.
Interestingly, despite this accumulation, the companyās stock fell by over 7% in pre-market trading, highlighting how traditional markets still react cautiously ā and not always positively ā to large-scale Bitcoin investments.
š§ Kiyosaki: People Trust the Wrong Money
Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, has once again voiced his support for Bitcoin, calling it āreal moneyā in contrast to devaluing fiat currencies. In a recent post, he warned that people are violating Gresham's and Metcalfe's laws by putting more trust in government-issued currency than in decentralized alternatives.
š¬ In Conclusion
Whoever Satoshi Nakamoto may be, heās once again the talk of the financial world. Not through tweets, interviews, or PR campaigns ā but purely through math, code, and the trust of millions worldwide.
