2024 has unfolded as a flourishing year for bitcoin’s valuation, as its market capitalization breezed past the $1 trillion milestone, positioning the cryptocurrency as the world’s tenth-largest asset by overall market valuation. This uptick in price has significantly boosted the net worth of Bitcoin’s mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, elevating the value of the inventor’s holdings by almost $9 billion within the last two months.
It is believed that upon the inception of the Bitcoin network, its founder, Satoshi Nakamoto, also mined the digital currency, amassing between 1 and 1.1 million BTC. The consensus among most estimates suggests that Nakamoto likely gathered around a million coins. Holding a million bitcoins places Nakamoto’s net worth at approximately $51.56 billion. Furthermore, were Nakamoto to be ranked on the Forbes Real-Time Billionaires list, the creator of Bitcoin would stand as the 26th richest individual globally.

As Bitcoin rises in price, the value of the total BTC that Satoshi Nakamoto mined is now pushing him to be the 26th richest person in the whole world. Yet we know that up to now, he is not yet cashing in with this great fortune and there is no certainty if the man is still alive or already dead...that is to assume that he is an individual and not a group of people. Will Satoshi Nakamoto become a very rich person who has not taken advantage of the money that he should be enjoying...or will we see one day a movement in one of the wallets where his BTC is stacked?
