Satoshi Nakamoto "hidden" to the top: Bitcoin founder becomes the world's tenth richest person

Arkham, a cryptocurrency data platform, released information on the social platform X yesterday (27th) that the total market value of Bitcoin held by Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious founder of Bitcoin, has reached 120 billion US dollars, enough to rank among the top ten richest people in the world.

According to Arkham data, Satoshi Nakamoto currently holds about 1 million Bitcoins, accounting for 5.2% of the total supply of Bitcoin. With the current price of the currency breaking through $110,000, the value of his crypto assets has expanded rapidly, surpassing the net worth of Steve Ballmer, the former CEO of Microsoft, of $118 billion, and ranking tenth on the Forbes Global Rich List.

According to the latest Forbes rich list, the world's top three richest people are Elon Musk, founder of Tesla, Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Meta (Facebook), and Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, with net assets of $342 billion, $216 billion, and $215 billion, respectively.

It is worth noting that the list of rich people after Satoshi Nakamoto still includes world-class business giants, including the Walmart family, investment legend Warren Buffett, and AI chip giant NVIDIA CEO Huang Renxun.

With the recent record high of Bitcoin prices, breaking through the $110,000 mark, Satoshi Nakamoto's crypto assets are expanding rapidly. Market analysis agencies and investment banks, including JPMorgan and ARK Invest, have raised their long-term price expectations for Bitcoin, with some forecasts even looking at $500,000.

If this goal is achieved, based on the 1 million bitcoins held by Satoshi Nakamoto, his theoretical assets will soar to $500 billion, and he is expected to surpass the current richest man Musk and become the world's new generation of "crypto richest man".

Although Satoshi Nakamoto's true identity has not been confirmed so far, the Bitcoin wealth he holds has become one of the most eye-catching mysteries in the global financial field. As the market's acceptance of cryptocurrencies increases and regulatory policies become clearer, attention surrounding Satoshi Nakamoto's wealth is bound to continue to heat up.
