If Bitcoin ever surges to $350,000, it could crown Satoshi Nakamoto—the elusive creator of Bitcoin—as the wealthiest person in human history. Currently, Satoshi is estimated to hold about 1.096 million BTC, untouched since the early days of the cryptocurrency. At today’s price of $117,000, this holding is already valued at over $128 billion, placing the anonymous figure among the top 20 richest people globally.
But should Bitcoin experience a supercycle or witness explosive growth through ETF adoption, halving cycles, or institutional investment, the price could rise dramatically. At $350,000 per BTC, Satoshi’s holdings would skyrocket to nearly $383.6 billion. If the price touched $365,000, his net worth would surpass $400 billion, easily eclipsing Elon Musk’s reported wealth of $225 billion.
These coins, mined during Bitcoin’s genesis phase, have never been moved or spent. This has led many to believe that Satoshi may no longer be alive or might be a collective rather than an individual. Still, the wallets remain publicly visible, with tracking platforms like Arkham Intelligence constantly monitoring their value — currently pegged above $128 billion.
The mystery and silence surrounding Satoshi only adds to the allure. Without ever making a statement, shifting a coin, or issuing a press release, Satoshi Nakamoto could quietly become the richest entity on Earth—an unspoken testament to Bitcoin’s growth and the crypto ecosystem’s vast potential.
