Bitcoin's relentless expansion propels Satoshi's net worth back into the $100 billion club.
Look who's making a massive comeback in the world of wealth! The mysterious genius behind Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, is once again a billionaire, sitting pretty with a cool $102 billion in digital gold. Arkham reports that this eye-popping fortune comes courtesy of Bitcoin's recent massive spike, surpassing the $93,000 mark.
This jaw-dropping leap in Bitcoin's value signals a triumphant recovery in the crypto market, as Bitcoin continues its relentless tear through resistance after resistance. In just the last 24 hours, the price has soared by an impressive 5%, with April showing a staggering 12% increase already. Yes, you read that right, we're talking about the big kahuna—an asset boasting a mind-boggling $1.85 trillion market cap.
Dug up: The Only Confirmed Emails From Satoshi Nakamoto After 14 Years
The fortune in question—roughly 1.096 million BTC—has been nestled away, unmoved for over a decade. These virtual treasure troves trace back to a specific set of early mined blocks, known within the blockchain community as the "Patoshi Pattern." Mined between January and May of 2009, these early blocks exhibit a distinctive non-overlapping nonce pattern and consistent block intervals, all signs pointing to a single miner, most likely Nakamoto himself.
The Patoshi Pattern also includes the only confirmed addresses from which Nakamoto ever transferred Bitcoin, a single transaction in 2009. Since then, these aren't just any wallets; they're the only ones directly linked to Nakamoto, based on mining behavior.
If Only Nakamoto Was a Public Figure...
Imagine if Satoshi Nakamoto had continued to stride the earth like the rest of us. Their current net worth would have earned them the 16th spot on Forbes' list of the richest people on the planet, bumping off Nvidia's Jensen Huang and the Koch family. But might Bitcoin be the international phenomenon it is today if Satoshi was a household name? That's open for debate.
