Bitcoin mystery deepens as founder Satoshi's stockpile tops $100 billion Satoshi Nakamoto is more wealthy than Bill Gates, with a crypto stash of more than 1 million bitcoin.
Crypto data platform Arkham Intelligence discovered that wallets associated with bitcoin’s pseudonymous founder Satoshi Nakamoto currently hold just over 1 million BTC, which is worth $108 billion at today’s prices.
Following Arkham’s latest findings, Coinbase director Conor Grogan noted that one of Nakamoto’s bitcoin addresses could be linked back to the crypto exchange Kraken.
Australian computer scientist Craig Wright spent eight years purporting to be the inventor of bitcoin before a High Court ruling in the UK dismissed his claims last year.
Dr Wright subsequently issued a statement to his website admitting to not being the author of the Bitcoin White Paper that first introduced the cryptocurrency to the world.
