Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, is once again a $100 billion club BTC holder. As Bitcoin prices rise above $94,000, Satoshi's untouched wallet holding around 1.1 million coins, has surged in value to over $103 billion. This puts it back into the top tier of the world’s wealthiest people, at least in terms of digital assets.
Bitcoin’s price recently crossed the $90,000 mark and touched a high of $94,500 before settling slightly lower on other exchanges. This price rally has pushed Bitcoin up by nearly 27% from its five-month low. The rally also coincides with a major milestone, the currency recently celebrated its 15th anniversary, and Nakamoto would have turned 50 just three weeks ago, if still alive and active.
This unexpected price jump pushed the BTC holdings over the $100 billion threshold for the first time since 2021, reminding everyone just how mighty a quiet wallet can be in the world of crypto.
Even though the value of these holdings is a lot, Satoshi never shifted or sold even a single Bitcoin after mining it between 2009-2010. The 1.1 million BTC linked to this was mined using what experts call the “Patoshi Pattern”, a mining method that had some unique features suggesting it was done by a single entity, possibly this alone.
The single activity related to wallets of Satoshi is recorded in 2009, when the first Bitcoin transaction happened. Since then, no coins have been transferred, making it one of the most mysterious and untouched wallets in crypto history.
Even though it is the biggest individual BTC holder, some big institutions are catching up. BlackRock, the biggest asset management firm, has a holding of 573,000 of the spot ETF. MicroStrategy has 538,200 coins. Together these two organisations hold more than 1.1 million coins, the same as the amount of Nakamoto. These organisations hold such amounts under the laws and regulations, for considering the interests of shareholders.
Tesla, the electric car company led by Elon Musk, also holds a sizable amount of the digital currency. According to the earnings report of Quarter 1 2025, Tesla holds 11,509 BTC. With the coin's recent price jump, that stash is now worth more than $1 billion.
Though this is far from the holdings of Nakamoto, BlackRock, or MicroStrategy, it illustrates how the digital asset is becoming an integral part of corporate treasury plans.
As the coin rises higher, the worth of Nakamoto treasury reminds everyone exactly how much punch early adoption holds. With well over $103 billion in sitting BTC, Satoshi Nakamoto is the biggest and most elusive crypto whale. And as long as those coins remain untouched, the legend about the creation of digital currency persists.
