Bitcoin’s recent price rally has once again pushed Satoshi Nakamoto’s holdings above the $100 billion mark. As BTC traded over $93,000, the pseudonymous Bitcoin creator’s untouched 1.1 million BTC is now worth more than $102 billion.
This surge follows a 27% rebound in Bitcoin’s value from its five-month low earlier this month. At one time, Bitcoin was trading at $94,500 before it slightly retreated. It has not only revived the market enthusiasm but also reminded everyone of Nakamoto’s influence in the crypto world.
According to Arkham Intelligence, Nakamoto’s stash makes him the largest individual holder of Bitcoin. These coins, mined during Bitcoin’s early days between 2009 and 2010 using the unique “Patoshi Pattern,” have never been moved. The only known transaction linked to Nakamoto took place in 2009 — and nothing since.
At the same time, large companies are accumulating their BTC. BlackRock has the largest Bitcoin ETF with approximately 573,000 BTC, and MicroStrategy has 538,000 BTC.
Together they hold more BTC than Nakamoto, but their operations are closely monitored by the regulatory authorities. On the other hand, Nakamoto’s hoard is still intact and has not been tampered with in any way. Even Tesla has not been left out, as it declared 11,509 BTC in its Q1 2025 revenue, which is valued at over $1 billion.
While institutional investors are increasing their stake in the cryptocurrency, Nakamoto’s coins are still lying idle, untouched, and yet, they are still making headlines.
