Aenco X-files: One of the most low-profile billionaires: How many Bitcoins does Satoshi Nakamoto hold?

2 min readMar 29, 2021

While there are many well-known billionaires, such as Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, one that many might have neglected and yet he/she might be one of the wealthiest billionaires on earth.

And there is Satoshi Nakamoto — the creator of bitcoin.

Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?

No one knows who Is Satoshi Nakamoto exactly. It is a pseudonym, which might represent a specific person or a team, of the author of the original bitcoin whitepaper. Before Satoshi ceased “his” communications in 2011, he claimed himself to be a Japanese male. Yet, many suspected that as Satoshi has an excellent command of English, and most likely he is a native English speaker. Although many have claim to be Satoshi, none has been truly proved.

The amount of bitcoin Satoshi is holding

Regardless of the true identity of Satoshi, it is notable that Satoshi has accumulated a tremendous amount of wealth even in fiat terms by HODLING bitcoin. Based on some sources, Satoshi has not spent any satoshi since early 2009, and some observers believe that Satoshi holds around 1 million bitcoins (equivalent to $60 billion if bitcoin counts for $60,000). This makes Satoshi one of the most low-key and wealthiest billionaires.
