Satoshi Nakamoto's net worth reached 130.7 billion USD, surpassing Bill Gates and ranking among the top of the global billionaire list.

As the price of Bitcoin (BTC) reaches a new historical high, the wealth of its mysterious founder Satoshi Nakamoto has also soared. The latest estimates show that Satoshi’s Bitcoin assets are valued at $130.7 billion, successfully surpassing Microsoft’s co-founder Bill Gates, making him one of the richest individuals in the world, second only to the heirs of the Walton family. This milestone not only highlights the long-term appreciation potential of Bitcoin but also underscores the profound impact of encryption assets on the global wealth landscape.

Bitcoin Price Surge Drives Wealth Rankings Up

According to Arkham Intelligence data, Satoshi Nakamoto’s wallet holds approximately 1,096,000 BTC. As the price of Bitcoin surpasses $119,000, the value of this long-unused asset has soared to $13.07 billion.

Comparing the billionaire rankings: Bill Gates currently has a wealth of about 122 billion USD, ranking 15th; Jim Walton and Rob Walton have 125 billion and 122 billion USD respectively, ranking 13th and 14th.

All-time high: Earlier this week, BTC broke through $124,000, briefly bringing Satoshi Nakamoto’s net worth to $136 billion.

Bitcoin has seen astonishing growth since its inception.

Since its inception in 2009, the price of Bitcoin has soared from less than $1 to over $119,000 today, with a cumulative increase of over 192 million%.

So far this year, BTC has risen by 105%, with a market capitalization exceeding 4 trillion dollars, becoming one of the important asset classes in the global financial market.

Satoshi Nakamoto’s wallet has not moved for many years, deepening the mystery.

Despite having immense wealth, Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin wallet has been almost dormant for years, with very few transaction records:

June 30, 2025: 0.185 BTC (approximately 20,000 USD) transferred from an unknown source to Satoshi Nakamoto’s wallet.

February 2025: CEX users sent approximately 200,000 USD BTC to the same address, suspected to be a mistake or symbolic support.

January 5, 2024: Someone transferred 26.9 BTC (about 1.19 million USD) to another genesis wallet.

These sporadic transactions further highlight the mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto’s identity and motives, making his assets one of the largest “sleeping wealth” in the world.

The Future May Continue to Rewrite the Global Billionaires List

Considering the amount of Bitcoin held by Satoshi Nakamoto, even a slight pump in the BTC price can increase his net worth by billions of dollars. If Bitcoin breaks through 150,000 USD or even higher in the coming years, Satoshi Nakamoto is expected to enter the top ten richest people in the world, and even challenge for the top position.

This is not just a story of personal wealth; it is also a microcosm of how encryption is reshaping global wealth distribution and financial power structures.

Conclusion

Satoshi Nakamoto has never appeared, but his wealth has continued to rise along with the rise of Bitcoin, approaching the wealthiest families and entrepreneurs in the world. As the encryption market continues to expand, the price trend of Bitcoin will not only affect investors’ assets but may also once again rewrite the landscape of the global rich list.
