Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin Holdings Soar Past $100 Billion as BTC Reclaims $94K
As Bitcoin stages a powerful recovery in April 2025, the legendary Bitcoin wallet linked to the elusive creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, has once again surpassed the $100 billion mark in value.
Earlier today, Bitcoin’s price surged past $94,000, briefly touching $94,500 before slightly pulling back. This marks the first time BTC has hit the $94K level since March 2, following a steep correction that drove it as low as $74,400 earlier this month, its lowest point since November 2024.
With this rebound, Bitcoin has gained around 27% from its recent bottom, and long-term holders—including the mysterious Satoshi—are reaping the benefits.
Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin Stash Now Worth Over $103 Billion
According to crypto intelligence platform Arkham, Satoshi Nakamoto is believed to control around 1.1 million BTC, making him (or them) the single largest known holder of Bitcoin. With BTC prices above $94K, that stash is now valued at more than $103 billion.
At Bitcoin’s all-time high in January, Satoshi’s holdings briefly peaked above $120 billion, ranking him among the richest individuals in history—if he were to ever cash out.
Had Satoshi remained an active figure in the crypto space today, his net worth would place him at #16 on Forbes’ list of the world’s richest people, ahead of notable billionaires like Michael Dell and Changpeng Zhao of Binance.
How Much Bitcoin Does Satoshi Really Own?
There’s still an ongoing debate about the exact amount of Bitcoin mined by Satoshi. Blockchain analysts, including those at Whale Alert, suggest Satoshi may have mined up to 1,125,150 BTC using what’s now referred to as the “Patoshi pattern.” This pattern appeared across over 22,000 early Bitcoin blocks and abruptly ended in May 2010 after block 54,316.
While it's possible Satoshi continued mining using publicly available tools, his original, unique mining signature vanished, leaving many to believe he voluntarily stepped away from Bitcoin’s growth to maintain its decentralized nature.
Interestingly, only 907 BTC from Satoshi’s wallets have ever been moved or spent, fueling further speculation that his massive fortune may remain untouched forever.
Bitcoin Billionaires: Who Else Is in the Club?
Satoshi isn't the only one with billions in Bitcoin. Major institutional players are catching up.
Bitcoin ETFs now collectively hold Bitcoin worth approximately $104 billion. Leading the pack is BlackRock, with a BTC stash worth around $50 billion, followed by Grayscale, managing roughly $17 billion in Bitcoin assets.
Meanwhile, MicroStrategy—now branded simply as Strategy continues to double down on Bitcoin. The firm currently holds 538,200 BTC, valued at nearly $49.92 billion, solidifying its reputation as the most committed corporate HODLer.
The Legend of Satoshi Grows Stronger as Bitcoin reclaims ground and surges past key resistance levels, the value of Satoshi Nakamoto’s untouched fortune is once again making headlines. Whether or not Satoshi ever returns remains a mystery but one thing is certain: his creation continues to shape the global financial landscape, and his digital wallet remains one of the most fascinating untold stories in crypto history.
