In mid-April the creator of the Bitcoin network, Satoshi Nakamoto entered the world\u2019s top 20 richest billionaire list but after bitcoin\u2019s price dropped, the inventor\u2019s wealth plummeted. This week, Nakamoto has once again joined the top 20 richest people on the face of the earth. The last time, Nakamoto made the 19th position, and this time around, Bitcoin\u2019s inventor is now the 20th richest person(s) on the face of the planet. <\/strong><\/p>\n

6 Months After Bitcoin\u2019s All-Time High, Satoshi Nakamoto Becomes the 20th Wealthiest Person in the World<\/span><\/h2>\n

The leading crypto asset bitcoin (BTC)<\/a> has skyrocketed past the $60K handle and tapped a high of $62,945 on Friday. Using today\u2019s exchange rate and the estimated stash of bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto reportedly owns, indicates that Bitcoin\u2019s inventor is the 16th richest person or persons worldwide. The last time Bitcoin.com News reported<\/a> on this subject, Nakamoto climbed from the 159th richest person in the globe to the 19th in a mere five months. Using today\u2019s BTC<\/a> exchange rates on October 17, 2021, six months later, Nakamoto is now the 20th richest person(s) worldwide.<\/p>\n

The reason why people assume Satoshi Nakamoto owns all this wealth, is because it is estimated that Bitcoin\u2019s inventor owns around 1 million BTC<\/a>. Of course, there are lower-bound estimates which say the inventor only collected 750,000 BTC<\/a> and then upper-bound estimates that assume Nakamoto has more than 1.1 million BTC<\/a>. The crypto community at large assumes that Nakamoto has around 1 million bitcoin and because he, she or they acquired it during the first year of BTC<\/a>\u2019s existence, the inventor owns all the forks tied to the stash as well.<\/p>\n

Between Bitcoin and 3 Forks, Nakamoto Has Roughly $61 Billion in Unspent Wealth<\/h2>\n

This means that on October 17, 2021, Nakamoto owns roughly $60.7 billion in bitcoin (BTC<\/a>), $625 million in bitcoin cash (BCH)<\/a>, $169 million in bitcoinsv (BSV)<\/a>, and $191 million in ecash (formerly known as BCHA or Bitcoin ABC). That\u2019s a grand total of $60.9 billion between those four networks which places Bitcoin\u2019s inventor at the 20th position in Forbe\u2019s real-time billionaires\u2019 list<\/a>. Satoshi Nakamoto is above the net worth of \u200b\u200bZhang Yiming, the billionaire from China. However, Nakamoto\u2019s wealth is below the world\u2019s 19th richest as Walmart\u2019s Rob Walton has around $75.3 billion to his name.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s pretty amazing is that one of the world\u2019s 20 richest people in the world is the mysterious inventor of Bitcoin. A person or group of people that have yet to spend a single penny of the $60.9 billion worth of crypto assets. Some people assume that Nakamoto may have passed away and this is why the inventor has never and will never spend the stash of 1 million coins collected when the creator kick-started the BTC<\/a> network. However, Nakamoto may still be alive and may still have access to these riches.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s inventor still has to catch up to the world\u2019s two richest people which include Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos respectively. Musk has around $214.8 billion in wealth today according to Forbe\u2019s real-time billionaires\u2019 list and Jeff Bezos owns around $197.8 billion. In order to overtake Musk\u2019s net worth, a single BTC<\/a> will need to be valued at over $215K per unit. If BTC<\/a> taps $100K this year, Bitcoin\u2019s inventor will be in the top 10 richest person(s) list next to Warren Buffet and Mukesh Ambani.<\/p>\n
