I noticed an interesting coincidence in the market — when Bitcoin makes serious upward moves, you start thinking about those holding the largest reserves. For example, Satoshi Nakamoto’s wealth, the creator of Bitcoin, has recently reached a completely different level. When the BTC price rose above $93,000, his portfolio surpassed $103 billion.

The wildest part of this story is that Satoshi Nakamoto’s holdings consist of approximately 1.096 million bitcoins, which he mined back in 2009 and has never touched since. These coins can be tracked through the so-called Patoshi Pattern — a specific set of blocks indicating they were mined by a single person. No transactions from these wallets over all these years. They just sit there and increase in value.

If Nakamoto suddenly appeared and wanted to join the list of the world’s wealthiest people, Satoshi Nakamoto’s holdings would place him in 15th place in the global ranking. Higher than the creator of Nvidia or the famous Koch brothers. And all of this thanks to an idea he once launched into the world and then simply disappeared. Interestingly, his influence on the crypto market remains huge, despite his anonymity. Satoshi Nakamoto’s wealth is a kind of symbol of how one good idea can be worth a fortune.
