Satoshi Nakamoto Overtakes Gates, Dell As 11th Richest Globally
HomeNews* Satoshi Nakamoto has become the 11th richest person in the world after a 14% rise in Bitcoin’s value.
Many estimates of Nakamoto’s holdings rely on the Patoshi Pattern, a mining signature detected in early Bitcoin blocks. Researchers widely believe Nakamoto mined about 1.1 million Bitcoins, aligning with Arkham Intelligence’s estimate of approximately 1.096 million Bitcoin.
Despite growing attention, Nakamoto’s true identity remains unknown. Efforts and claims to uncover it, involving figures like Peter Todd, Adam Back, and Hal Finney, have so far been denied or unconfirmed. Some speculate Nakamoto could be an individual, a group, or even linked to a government, but no conclusive evidence exists.
Wallets linked to Nakamoto have never had any Bitcoin moved from them, according to Arkham Intelligence. This inactivity has led to speculation that Nakamoto may no longer be alive. However, others argue there may be philosophical or practical reasons for not moving the funds. As quoted from Econoalchemist, a pseudonymous miner: “I don’t think he would ever sell his coins. He built an alternative cash system, and I don’t believe he did that for the gains in the failed system Bitcoin was designed to replace.”
Security concerns are now rising around quantum computing, which some experts believe could, within the decade, crack the cryptographic keys guarding old wallets, including Nakamoto’s. A recent Bitcoin Improvement Proposal seeks to Deloitte.com/nl/en/services/risk-advisory/perspectives/quantum-computers-and-the-bitcoin-blockchain.html” target=”_blank”>protect against quantum attacks. If successful attacks occurred, experts warn that up to 25% of Bitcoin’s total supply could be at risk, potentially causing major market impacts.
Forbes tracks billionaire net worth using public holdings and values, and notes that estimates for private assets may vary. The future of Nakamoto’s Bitcoin remains uncertain, with its security dependent on advances in both encryption and computing technology.
