If the Bit price stabilizes above $100,000, Satoshi Nakamoto could become the second richest person in the world by next year. If this cryptocurrency reaches $200,000, his net worth would be $219 billion.
Several analysts agree that this price is realistic and possible in the short to medium term. Although the likelihood of Satoshi being officially recognized as an ultra-high net worth individual is low, this would be an important benchmark of success.
Satoshi's Immortal Legacy
Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto has been completely hidden for years, but still has a significant impact on the entire cryptocurrency industry.
His original vision is a recurring topic of discussion, and his legendary Bit holdings are an important benchmark in the industry. Satoshi holds over 1.1 million BTC, and his holdings continue to increase through various donations.
Despite recent challenges, the Bit price is currently performing very well. Analysts can point to the strong fundamentals of the asset, and BTC is attracting institutional investment as volatility decreases.
Satoshi Nakamoto's wallet, or the set of wallets attributed to him, continues to receive small amounts of Bit. Some people send BTC to Satoshi's address as a dedication, recognition, or as part of social or promotional events.
Meanwhile, Bit users often send funds to Satoshi's wallet to show respect or belief in the origin story of Bit. These coins are assumed to be "burned" as the keys are inaccessible.
In some cases, they may be used for "dusting attacks", where attackers send small amounts to track wallet activity and identify users. However, this is less relevant to Satoshi's known inactive addresses.
The coins in this wallet, mined between 2009 and 2010, have never been moved from their original address. The fact that Satoshi has not touched these coins increases trust in Bit's decentralization.
If these were to move, it would cause a significant market reaction and raise questions about Satoshi's intentions.
If this trend continues, Satoshi could become the second richest person in the world if Bit maintains this trajectory.
Billionaire Without Controversy
Specifically, Satoshi holds over 1.1 million BTC, which would be equivalent to $219 billion if Bit reaches $200,000. At that level, Satoshi would have a higher net worth than any current billionaire except Elon Musk.
Satoshi's identity remains a mystery, but his substantial cryptocurrency holdings are well documented.
Is this possible? Of course. In the past few weeks, several analysts, from Max Keiser to Standard Chartered, have claimed that BTC could reach $200,000 by the end of 2025 or early 2026.
Meanwhile, Satoshi's Bit holdings will continue to increase, and his net worth will increase accordingly.
Of course, since Satoshi's identity is uncertain, it is unlikely that he will be included in many official rankings regardless of Bit's value. For all we know, he may already be deceased.
Nevertheless, the cryptocurrency community has respected his legacy for over 10 years, and this will not change. If he were to hold over $200 billion in BTC at some point, we would remember it as a victory.
