{"content":"Bitcoin Surge Catapults Satoshi Nakamoto Into World’s Top 11 Rich List — Net Worth Hits $130B Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto is the 11th wealthiest person on earth if you consider his unspent bitcoin as liquid wealth. Arkham Intelligence estimates he has 1.096 million BTC, worth $129 billion. That would put him ahead of Michael Dell's $125 billion and behind Sergey Brin's $140 billion. Satoshi’s Wealth in numbers The 1.096 million BTC mined in Bitcoin's early days have not moved, according to Arkham Intelligence. At current prices, they're $129.23 billion. Satoshi ranks above Dell and below Brin on a real-time billionaire list with that figure. Satoshi isn't on Forbes's list, but his assets show where he'd fall. Recent sessions have seen Bitcoin reach $118,000. Satoshi's share remains paper riches if it stays there—he has no intentions to sell. An unidentified trader named apsk32 said Bitcoin might reach $400,000. Using a three-plot model, Bitcoin's market cap is compared to gold's history. Apsk32 claims Bitcoin follows the same trend as gold, which peaked at $3,500 an ounce. The model's first plot shows gold's per-ounce price. The second graph compares Bitcoin's market cap to gold-based values. Apsk32's straight trend line matches Metcalfe's Law, which states that network value rises with the square of its users. Unlike Bitcoin's Rainbow chart, the third log chart adds “years-ahead” support bands from 0 to 5 years ahead of the inferred price line. According to this concept, Bitcoin has never exceeded the five-year-ahead band, even during previous booms. Currently, the one-year-ahead line is at $400,000. If history repeats, BTC may regard that band as a ceiling or floor depending on market sentiment and macro variables like Fed policies or global demand. Bitcoin would increase by almost 200 % from current levels, even if it reaches $400,000 levels. Forecasts are charted estimates. They suggest routes, but markets surprise everyone. #SatoshiNakamoto #BTCBreaksATH #StrategyBTCPurchase #USCryptoWeek #BTC $BTC $ETH $XRP ","images":["https://d2kdcqywr8ua22.cloudfront.net/uploadfile/article/blog/2025072025/07/13/780207af6104f83b74b0079e1ef3009f.png"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":["ETH/USDT"],"quotearticleid":0}
