Satoshi Nakamoto's Wealth Set to Enter Top Ten Global Billionaires List

BlockBeats News, July 14th, according to CoinDesk, Bitcoin's pseudonymous founder Satoshi Nakamoto has now ascended to one of the world's richest individuals (or entities) — all achieved without ever spending a penny or revealing any identity information.

With Bitcoin surging above $122,000 this Monday, Satoshi Nakamoto's holdings of around 1.1 million BTC are now valued at over $134 billion (as calculated based on blockchain public data).

This positions Satoshi Nakamoto close to the global top ten richest people, surpassing Dell Computer CEO Michael Dell and Walmart heir Rob Walton, and getting nearer to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and legendary investor Warren Buffett — as per real-time data from Forbes' billionaire list.

Satoshi Nakamoto's wealth now approaches that of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, whose net worth is around $142 billion, currently ranking him tenth on the global billionaire list.
