Satoshi’s Bitcoin Fortune Now Dwarfs Bill Gates’ Wealth as BTC Soars to New Heights
The anonymous Bitcoin creator's stash—untouched since 2010—just crossed the $200B mark. Meanwhile, Gates’ Microsoft shares look like pocket change.
How’s that for a decentralized power shift? The original crypto whale isn’t selling… but Wall Street’s still waiting for ‘the bubble’ to pop.
Satoshi Nakamoto Is Richer Than Bill Gates
Nakamoto, the mysterious founder of Bitcoin, has now surpassed Bill Gates’s net worth. The BTC chief is now sitting on a fortune of $133.5B, exceeding that of Gates, which stands at $118B per the latest Arkham report.

The stark difference suggests the power that cryptocurrency assets hold, as markets have now started to favor the domain more holistically. Nakamoto is now racing towards overtaking Warren Buffett in the net worth race, as Buffett’s net worth stands close to $142B per Forbes, while Nakamoto’s has now surged to $133B.
Satoshi Nakamoto founded bitcoin in 2008 by introducing a white paper discussing the depth and intricacies of the asset. Nakamoto was active till 2010 but has not been heard from ever since.
Nakamoto was also one of the first individuals to solve the cryptocurrency adoption dilemma. The Bitcoin founder introduced the idea of “double-spending of crypto” by proposing a peer-to-peer network model, according to Investing’s BTC data.
