- Satoshi Nakamoto can become the world’s second richest person if bitcoin grows by 50% per year.
- Elon Musk is likely to remain the world’s richest individual, although Satoshi surpasses Buffett and Zuckerberg.
Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, can become the world’s second richest individual if Bitcoin maintains its annual growth rate of 50%, Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas has proposed.
On one post At X on Monday, the analyst said Satoshi’s estimated holding of about 1.1 million BTC, which is worth more than $ 114 billion to current market prices, could exceed the net value of Warren Buffett and Mark Zuckerberg if Bitcoin continues its historical growth track.
According to Forbes latest billionaire RankingBerkshire Hathaway CEO has a net value of about $ 154 billion from June 2 and places him sixth among the world’s richest individuals.
At the same time, Metas founder is ranked just behind Elon Musk, with a fortune of $ 216 billion.
Satoshi’s estimated holding of 1.1 million BTC exceeded short $ 120 billion when Bitcoin increased over $ 110,000, which temporarily placed him before Nvidia’s CEO in net value, according to Arkham Intelligence. The lead was short -lived as the price was soon dipped below $ 105,000.

Bitcoin is now shopping for about $ 103,800, almost 5% in the last seven days, tradingview data shows. Year so far, the digital currency has seen growth of about 11%.
With Bitcoin, which started the year of about $ 94,000, a 50% annual growth rate, Per Balchuna’s forecast, would place it over $ 140,000 at the end of the year, which also matches other experts.
So far, the exact amount of bitcoin that Satoshi still owns is unknown.
However, researchers have identified a distinct mining pattern and clusters of addresses that are believed to belong to Satoshi, leading to the generally accepted estimate of approximately 1.1 million BTC.
These coins are broken in Bitcoin early days and have remained untouched since the Bitcoin creator disappeared from the public around 2010.
Stash represents about 5% of all Bitcoin available, making Satoshi the largest individual Bitcoin holder.
