Satoshi Nakamoto Loses Nearly $5 Billion in a Day
According to blockchain analytics firm Arkham, Bitcoin’s elusive creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, has seen a dramatic $5 billion decrease in his net worth over the past 24 hours due to the market downturn.
Currently, Nakamoto’s wallet holds approximately 1,096,000 BTC, valued at about $118 billion. Despite the recent losses, this still places him among the richest individuals in the world—surpassing even Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft.
Bitcoin Market Correction Impacts Top Holders
Bitcoin’s price correction affected nearly all major holders and institutional investors. Analysts note that even slight percentage swings in BTC can result in multibillion-dollar changes in net worth for early adopters like Nakamoto.
Still, the market remains resilient. Many experts believe that these pullbacks are part of Bitcoin’s natural cycle and often precede renewed growth, as accumulation among long-term holders continues.
Satoshi’s Fortune Remains Intact
Despite the recent $5 billion decline, Nakamoto’s Bitcoin holdings have remained untouched for over a decade. Analysts interpret this as a sign that the Bitcoin creator maintains complete detachment from market speculation—an embodiment of Bitcoin’s long-term vision and decentralized philosophy.
As the crypto market stabilizes, all eyes remain on Bitcoin’s next move—and on the mysterious figure who started it all.
