Bitcoin's price has been soaring in recent days, and today (14th) it skyrocketed to over $122,000, bringing its market value to $2.4 trillion, surpassing Amazon and claiming the title of '5th largest asset in the world'; even more striking is that, according to on-chain data estimates, Satoshi Nakamoto, who is rumored to hold 1.096 million Bitcoins, has seen his net worth rise to over $131 billion, enough to rank him as the '11th richest person in the world.'

According to the latest statistics from CompaniesMarketCap, Bitcoin currently has a market value of $2.438 trillion, successfully surpassing Amazon ($2.388 trillion) and silver ($2.215 trillion), becoming the 5th largest asset in the world, only behind gold, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Apple.

The mysterious driving force behind this is the founder who has never appeared but holds millions of Bitcoins—Satoshi Nakamoto.

On-chain data analysis platform Arkham Intelligence estimates that the Bitcoin holdings of Satoshi Nakamoto are worth over $131 billion, theoretically allowing him to rank 11th on the (Forbes) Billionaires list, just behind Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google, who currently has a net worth of $142 billion.

However, Forbes has not yet included the assets in cryptocurrency wallets in its statistics, only using publicly verifiable assets (such as stocks, corporate equity, etc.) as a basis.

Currently, the world's richest person remains Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, with a net worth exceeding $404 billion; Larry Ellison, founder of software giant Oracle, ranks second with a fortune of $274 billion; Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg closely follows with the same net worth of $274 billion.

The market estimates that if Bitcoin's rally continues and soars over 208% to $370,000, Satoshi Nakamoto's net worth could challenge the title of the world's richest person, provided that the fortunes of other tech giants do not experience significant fluctuations.
