Bitcoin continued its strong gains this morning (5th), reaching a maximum of US$68,500, only US$500 away from its historical high of US$69,000. At the same time, this also allowed the market value of Bitcoin to further exceed US$1.34 trillion, firmly establishing itself as the ninth largest asset in the world, surpassing community giant Meta and stock investor Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway.
Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin holdings exceed $75 billion
It is estimated that Satoshi Nakamoto, the father of Bitcoin, mined a large amount of BTC during the initial birth of Bitcoin. Approximately 1.1 million BTC are held in 22,000 addresses related to him, but have not been used for a long time.
Just yesterday, the community began to circulate an image of Satoshi Nakamoto on the "Forbes" global rich list, which surprised everyone. Mainstream media also began to recognize Satoshi Nakamoto's influence! (For example, based on the BTC market price of US$68,500, the value of BTC held by Satoshi Nakamoto has reached US$75.3 billion)
However, according to actual inspection by Dongzhong, Satoshi Nakamoto is not actually included in the "Forbes" real-time ranking of the world's richest people. To explore its origin, it originated from Bitcoin Magazine editor Rizzo’s post on social platform X late yesterday (4th).
In addition, if you look closely, you will find that the size of Satoshi Nakamoto's image is different from other people's designs, so you can judge that this ranking should be edited by Rizzo himself.
What if Satoshi Nakamoto is really included in the rich list?
However, if we really put Satoshi Nakamoto on the Forbes list of the world's richest people, then Satoshi Nakamoto's assets would exceed US$75 billion, and he would even replace Huang Renxun, the founder of AI chip giant Huida (currently worth about US$75.2 billion) , ranking 20th on the list.
It has surpassed Alice Walton, the eldest daughter of the founder of Walmart in the United States, Zhong Suisui, chairman of the Chinese drinking water giant "Nongfu Spring"... and other wealthy people.
