Bitcoin‘s pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, is currently the 26th richest human being on the planet based on the amount of BTC he is presumed to have owned.
Nakamoto famously holds a little over $1 million Bitcoin in a wallet that has been dormant for more than a decade, which is also the primary reason many believe he may have died.
Based on Bitcoin’s $54,000 worth, his holdings are price roughly $50 billion as of Feb. 26.
In the meantime, some estimates recommend that Nakamoto holds 1.1 million BTC, which might push him nearer to $60 billion.
Nakamoto might dethrone Bernard Arnault
The surge in Bitcoin’s worth to near-all-time highs has triggered some to take a position whether or not the richest particular person on the planet might be an nameless, unknown particular person.
For Nakamoto to overhaul the likes of Bernard Arnault and Elon Musk, Bitcoin must improve practically 4x from its present worth of $55,000 or 3x from its earlier all-time excessive of $69,000.
Preston Pysh, co-founder of TIP, observed the likelihood in an X publish, writing:
“It’ll be interesting if the wealthiest person in the world is unknown [ie. Satoshi Nakamoto]. At about $212k per Bitcoin, it happens.”
At a worth of $212,000, Nakamoto’s Bitcoin holdings could be price $233.2 billion, permitting him to overhaul Bernard Arnault and his household’s web price of $229.1 billion.
Additional calculations present that BTC hitting $208,300 could be ample for Nakamoto to overhaul the highest spot on the listing by a narrower margin. In the meantime, Bitcoin would have to be price $189,700 for Nakamoto to turn into richer than Musk in second place.
In the meantime, Amazon founder and govt chairman Jeff Bezos’ third place could be usurped at $178,000, whereas Mark Zuckerberg‘s fourth place spot and Bill Gates’ seventh could be overtaken as soon as BTC hits $154,200 and $115,900, respectively.
