Pete Rizzo, a Bitcoin historian and journalist, has published an X post about the rapidly growing US-dollar worth of the Bitcoin stash that is held in the wallet of the mysterious BTC creator Satoshi Nakamoto.
Satoshi is close to outranking Buffett by wealth size
According to the screenshot posted by Rizzo, Satoshi currently sits between Michael Dell, who is worth $125.7 billion, and the 94-year-old Omaha Oracle Warren Buffett. The latter is known to be a vocal Bitcoin hater who in 2018 referred to it as “rat poison squared” when addressing the shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway during an annual meeting. His net worth in 2025 stands at $143.3 billion.

According to data shared by Arkham Intelligence, the legendary Bitcoin creator now holds roughly 1.096 million Bitcoins, which is worth $129,123,514,424. However, unlike Warren Buffett’s wealth, Satoshi’s BTC stash has remained untouched for more than a decade. Through that time, many dedicated fans have been sending some of their BTC to one of Satoshi’s 22 wallets to say thanks for creating Bitcoin.
Over the past few days, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, BTC, has demonstrated a spike of nearly 8%, soaring from the $108,920 level to $117,570. In its way up, Bitcoin smashed a new all-time high at around $120,000 mark.
As reported by U.Today earlier, on Friday, Bitcoin briefly surpassed online retail marketplace Amazon by the size of market capitalization. Currently, Bitcoin’s market cap sits at $2.337 trillion, behind Amazon with its $2.338 trillion. Silver is right behind BTC, showing a market cap of $2.199 trillion.
